How To Make fresh bay scallops on the half shell
-
Step 1When cleaning your scallops only remove the meat from the top shell. Leave the meat attached to the bottom half
-
Step 2Melt 1 stick of butter with 4 minced cloves of garlic on a low heat. Add your creole seasoning( to your taste) and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Low heat just to bring the flavors together.
-
Step 3Crush up the sleeve of crackers and put in separate bowl. Cut the tomato in 4 pieces, de-seed and dice the flesh fine and add to the cracker mixture.
-
Step 4Mix together the cracker mixture and melted butter mixture.
-
Step 5Add "Just A Pinch" of cracker mixture to each scallop. You don't want to over power the flavor of the scallop. I then add more creole seasoning and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and another squeeze of lemon. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes
