Servings: 4 people
Calories: 183kcal
Ingredients
- 8 Scallops in their shells fresh or thawed frozen scallops
- ⅓ cup dry White Wine Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio
- ¼ cup fresh Parsley finely chopped
- ½ cup Breadcrumbs fresh or panko
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Clean the scallops and place each one back in its shell or in an oven-safe dish if shells are not available. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, and wine. Mix until evenly combined. You should get a soft paste.
- Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the scallops, pressing lightly to adhere. Do not make the layer too thick. Add a thin slice on butter on top.
- Place the scallops in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the scallops are opaque.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
You can prepare the breadcrumb mixture and store it separately. Assemble the gratin just before baking for the freshest flavor and texture.
