Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the scallops and pat them dry. Use a small knife to carefully remove the muscle from the side of each scallop.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped green onions, breadcrumbs, melted butter, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Scallops

    Spoon the crab mixture into the hollowed-out scallops, filling them generously.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the stuffed scallops on a baking sheet. Top each scallop with shredded cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your VIERAS RELLENAS!
