Best Baked Sea Scallops Ever




Oh my goodness, ran across an amazing baked sea scallop recipe recently.  It was so simple - yet the flavors just exploded.  Hope you enjoy!



Ingredients:
16 sea scallops, rinsed and drained
5 T. butter or ghee, melted
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 shallots, chopped
3 pinches ground nutmeg
salt and pepper
1/4 C. chopped fresh parsley (flat leaf preferable)
1 c. Bread crumbs (optional - I omitted to keep this Whole 30 compliant)
1/4 C. olive oil (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 deg.

Combine the melted butter, garlic, shallots, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl.  Gently coat the scallops with this mixture, then arrange them in a casserole dish or baking tray.

If you are doing the crumb coating, combine the olive oil and bread crumbs.  Sprinkle on top.  This way is yummy - but the recipe totally stands on its own without :)

Bake in preheated oven until scallops are done, 11-14 min.   Sprinkle parsley on top and serve hot.
