Steps:
- 1. When cleaning your scallops only remove the meat from the top shell. Leave the meat attached to the bottom half
- 2. Melt 1 stick of butter with 4 minced cloves of garlic on a low heat. Add your creole seasoning( to your taste) and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Low heat just to bring the flavors together.
- 3. Crush up the sleeve of crackers and put in separate bowl. Cut the tomato in 4 pieces, de-seed and dice the flesh fine and add to the cracker mixture.
- 4. Mix together the cracker mixture and melted butter mixture.
- 5. Add "Just A Pinch" of cracker mixture to each scallop. You don't want to over power the flavor of the scallop. I then add more creole seasoning and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and another squeeze of lemon. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes

Steps:
- Preheat broiler. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in shallots, and cook 20 seconds. Add wine, and simmer until it has been reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Add scallops; cover, and cook 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer scallops to a cutting board. Pour poaching liquid though a sieve into a bowl.
- Cut each scallop crosswise into 2 or 3 slices, cutting almost but not completely through. Fan open, and divide among shells. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, and spoon 1 tablespoon poaching liquid over each shell. Sprinkle with salt, and dot with remaining tablespoon butter. Broil until just bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with peppercorns, and serve with lemon wedges.
