Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 lb scallops
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
Juice from 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Add butter and white wine to a 8x10-inch baking dish. Place in oven for 10 minutes to let sauce reduce.
Meanwhile, dry scallops well with a paper towel and remove any attached muscle by pinching and tearing it away from the scallop.
Add olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper to a bowl. Add scallops and toss to coat.
In a separate bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, melted butter, and parmesan cheese.
Arrange scallops in a single layer in the baking dish and sprinkle with breadcrumb topping. Bake until topping is golden brown, 15-18 minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve. Enjoy!
