Sea Scallops

Method

Prepare the Scallops

  1. 1

    Clean the Scallops

    Rinse the sea scallops under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Broiler

    Turn on the oven's broiler and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.

Make the Breadcrumb Topping

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, mix together the seasoned breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 4

    Add Olive Oil

    Drizzle the olive oil over the breadcrumb mixture and stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

Broil the Scallops

  1. 5

    Arrange Scallops

    Place the cleaned and dried scallops on a broiler-safe pan or baking sheet, spaced apart.

  2. 6

    Top with Breadcrumb Mixture

    Spoon the breadcrumb topping evenly over each scallop.

  3. 7

    Broil

    Place the pan under the broiler for 8-10 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and the topping is golden brown.

Serve

  1. 8

    Garnish and Plate

    Remove the scallops from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
