Scallops

I recently made this scallop recipe I have never eaten scallops before so I was really unsure I would be able to call it a success.
It was! I would change baking them in the oven to sauteing them in the pan with the sauce when has reduced, but otherwise a really tasty dish.
I also made extra sauce so there would be enough to coat some brown rice noodles. Yum.
trying something new paid off this time! In my kitchen that isn't always the case (ask my brother in-law about the meatball incident and you will know what i mean.)
No pictures this time as i am still trying to find a camera charger that works.

Ingredients

• 16 sea scallops, rinsed and drained
• 5 tablespoons butter, melted
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 shallots, chopped
• 3 pinches ground nutmeg
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• lemon wedges for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Place scallops, melted butter, garlic, and shallots in a bowl. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine. Transfer to a casserole dish.
3. In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs and olive oil. Sprinkle on top of scallops.
4. Bake in preheated oven until crumbs are brown and scallops are done, about 11 to 14 minutes. Top with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
