If you like fried scallops, this recipe is for you. They come out crisp and golden brown, just like fried without the calories and fats! I have used this recipe with jumbo fresh shrimp and they were outstanding also. I baked the shrimp for 6 min. As they cook faster and become tough if over cooked. I serve the scallops with tartar sauce and cocktail sauce and fresh lemon slices.
