I probably wouldn't have tried to cook baked scallops, but I recently learned how to cook seared scallops link from the Sam the Cooking Guy on YouTube. I was previously scared of cooking scallops because I thought I would mess them up. Haha. :)

What I used:

- Scallops

- Parmesan

- Paprika

- Cayenne Pepper

- Butter

- Olive Oil

I pat dry the scallops. Then I made the parmesan/panko topping with all the ingredients except for the scallops.

Then I just topped the scallops with the topping and popped them in 400 degree oven for about 12-13 min.

RESULT: Success! :)

We are good at this! How good do they look? It was really good! This is a really fast and easy recipe from dinnerthendessert.com that looks really fancy. Even with the fresh scallops, this meal actually cost less than getting fast food.

As I mentioned before:

Scallops are more expensive than shrimp, but not that bad and it's much less than it costs to order it in a restaurant. 3 oz. of scallops has 17-20 grams of protein! A lot of protein bang for your buck.
