Dinah's Baked Scallops

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.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.

Step 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.

In a separate bowl, mix together melted butter, wine and lemon juice; drizzle mixture over scallops.

Bake in preheated oven until scallops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley.
