"Delicious baked scallops with butter and garlic. Bay scallops are the little ones and they tend to be sweeter tasting than sea scallops."

1 1/2 pounds bay scallops, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried parsley
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method :

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. Pour melted butter into a 2 quart oval casserole dish. Distribute butter and scallops evenly inside the dish.

3. Combine the bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, parsley, minced garlic and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture over the scallops.

4. Bake in pre-heated oven until scallops are firm, about 20 minutes.
