Steps:

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. - Gently prepare Portabello mushrooms by rinsing each under cool water. Pat dry. - Coat each Portabello mushroom with olive oil. - Lightly salt and pepper each portabello mushroom. - Arrange the portabello mushrooms on a baking sheet (underside of each mushroom facing up). - Lightly salt and pepper each scallop. - On a second baking sheet, arrange the 12 scallops. - While on the baking sheet, drizzle each scallop with a about a tablespoon of olive oil. - Place both baking sheets in the pre-heated oven. - Bake both for 20-30 mins. Both the portabello mushrooms and the scallops should be hot, sizzling and tender when done. Do not over cook. - Remove each baking sheet from the oven, set on counter and increase oven's temperature to 450. - Place two scallops on top of one portabello mushroom cap (2 scallops to one mushroom). - Generously sprinkle feta cheese on top of each of the 6 scallop/portabello creations. - After topping each protabello mushroom with two scallops, return the baking sheet containing the scallops/portabello/feta creation to the oven and allow the feta cheese to lightly melt. Remove from oven at the point when feta begins to melt down sides of scallops. Should take no more than 5 mins. - Arrange one scallop/portabello creation to each plate. Garnish with sprinkle of parsley.Immediately serve. (Suggest grilled asparagus or any other of your favorite vegetables to accompany scallops/portabello)
