Garlic Butter Baked Scallops

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Prepare scallops: Pat the scallops dry with paper towels to ensure they sear nicely. Season with salt and pepper.

Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter and minced garlic.

Assemble: Place scallops in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle garlic butter over the scallops, then sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly on top.

Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until scallops are opaque and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.

Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon, and serve immediately.
