4 cups oyster crackers, crushed (enough to yield 1 cup when crushed)
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon & herb seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/4 lbs sea scallops, patted dry

In a separate plastic bag, combine the scallops and mustard. seal the bag, and squish around to coat the scallops with the mustard. Add the scallops to the cracker mixture, seal the bag, and shake to coat evenly.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the scallops from the bag, place in the skillet, and cook until golden brown on the outside and opaque on the inside, about 3 minutes per side.
