Description

This is my favorite way to prepare scallops. They're so flavorful they don't really need much more than a little butter and lemon. I like to serve them with a nice rice pilaf and vegetable.

Ingredients

20 buttery round crackers, crushed
black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound sea scallops, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
2 Combine crushed crackers, black pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl. Press scallops into mixture so that they are evenly coated, and place them in the greased baking dish.
3 In a separate bowl, mix together melted butter, wine and lemon juice; drizzle mixture over scallops.
4 Bake in preheated oven until scallops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley.
