Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12 large Scallops cleaned and patted dry
- 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter melted
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped
- Lemon Wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the scallops on a baking dish in a single layer, giving them a little space so they cook evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Spoon the garlic butter mixture over each scallop, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, until the scallops are opaque and slightly golden around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and immediately garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the scallops.
Notes
Pat scallops completely dry to prevent moisture from affecting browning. Avoid overcrowding the baking dish for even cooking.
