Baked Sea Scallops

This recipe is from Abigail Rose as part of the Massachusetts Seafood Ambassador Program led by Eating with the Ecosystem.

Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 2-4

Ingredients
· 1 lb sea scallops
· 2 tablespoons white cooking wine
· +/- 8 Ritz crackers
· 2 tablespoons salted butter
· salt, to taste
· black pepper, to taste
· lemon wedges


Directions
Preheat oven to 380 degrees F.

Place scallops in a shallow baking dish. Add white cooking wine (roughly 2 TBS) I typically eyeball the white wine so it is visibly on the bottom of the entire baking dish. Add 2 TBS of softened butter to the top of the scallops - we opted for chive compound butter this time. Crush Ritz crackers until the entire surface of the scallops are covered. Place in oven & bake for 25 min. 

Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with lemon wedges.
