📜 A Little History

Scallops have been enjoyed for centuries, especially in Mediterranean and coastal cuisines. Traditionally pan-seared or grilled, baked scallops became popular as home ovens allowed cooks to create rich butter-based sauces without constant attention. Garlic butter versions are now a global favorite, loved for their simplicity and elegance.

🧾 Ingredients

1 lb sea scallops, cleaned and patted dry
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp lemon juice
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Optional: pinch of paprika or chili flakes

🥣 Method & Formation

1️⃣ Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Arrange scallops in a single layer.

2️⃣ Garlic Butter Sauce

In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Mix well until fragrant and smooth.

3️⃣ Assembly Method

Pour garlic butter sauce evenly over scallops.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
Add breadcrumbs if using, for a golden crust.
Lightly dust with paprika or chili flakes if desired.

4️⃣ Baking Method

Bake uncovered for 12–15 minutes, until scallops are opaque and tender.
Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for a lightly golden top.
