National Baked Scallops Day | Breaded Baked Scallops

You all are going to think I’m crazy, but I am not a fan of scallops. I’ve tried them a handful of times and have found them to be too chewy for my tastes and then I worry that they aren’t cooked properly and that freaks me out even more. I managed to get these scallops to be a texture I actually enjoy, though, so that’s good.

Being that this is my first time making scallops, I wasn’t sure how to season them, but I figured that the combination I would use for shellfish (the fish I cook most often) would work out fine.

Big surprise that I was right. Who doesn’t like the combo of butter, lemon, parsley, and white wine?

Another wonderful thing about scallops is that they cook fast!

I get home after a 30 minutes drive from work and within 20 minutes, I had these scallops to enjoy.

The recipe I made was for 3 scallops. It’s all I needed to be seafood happy.
