Local Bay Scallops Broiled with Bread Crumbs

Serves 2-4

Ingredients

• 1 lb. Bay Scallops
• 3-4 tablespoons butter
• Seasoned panko bread crumbs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Capers and a wedge of lemon (optional)

Preparation

• Pre-heat oven to broil.
• Place Bay Scallops on a small cast iron skillet and pat them dry.
• Season with salt and pepper and place 3 or 4 thinly sliced pats of butter on top of scallops.
• Add seasoned panko bread crumbs if desired.
• Broil just until tops of scallops turn a light golden brown. The scallops don't need to be cooked all the way through.
• Garnish with capers and a wedge of lemon.

Tip:
If you like the scallop cooked more, place skillet on stove top and cook on medium high heat for 3 minutes. If using a broil pan, bake scallops before broiling for 3-5 minutes at 375.
