Yield makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 pounds large sea scallops (about 18)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Cheater Basic Dry Rub (page 45)
Chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon, zested and cut into wedges

Steps:

  • HEAT the oven to 450°F. Lightly coat a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • RINSE the scallops and pat dry. Place the scallops in a large bowl with 6 tablespoons of the melted butter. Gently toss to coat evenly.
  • COMBINE the panko, Parmesan, and dry rub in a shallow bowl and blend well.
  • ROLL each scallop in the breading and place on the baking sheet.
  • BAKE the scallops for 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven and heat the broiler.
  • SPRINKLE the tops lightly with any leftover breading and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • BROIL the scallops about 4 inches from the heat source for 3 to 5 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and crisp.
  • SPRINKLE with parsley and lemon zest and serve with the lemon wedges.
