Dinah’s Baked Scallops

Ingredients

• 20 buttery round crackers, crushed
• black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 pound sea scallops, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.

Combine crushed crackers, black pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl. Press scallops into mixture so that they are evenly coated, and place them in the greased baking dish.

In a separate bowl, mix together melted butter, wine and lemon juice; drizzle mixture over scallops.

Bake in preheated oven until scallops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley.
