baked stuffed sea scallops by noreen
I love scallops. I usually make this dish for family gatherings, and on Fridays during Lent. I've been making my scallops this way for at least 20 years. My secret is the cracker used. This is a simple buttery Lemony type baked scallop dish. I have even stuffed Lobster Tails with it. It has been enjoyed by my family and relatives for sometime. Enjoy!
