We had your scallops for dinner last night. They are excellent! I had to make a change in the Italian bread crumbs,thought I had them in my pantry so didn't buy them.Alas,I didn't so I used garlic and herb. Scallops are so filling,and I used all that was in the package~1.40 lbs.They were previously frozen,so needed to use them right away.Had some left over,warmed them and had them for lunch. Thank you for sharing the recipe,now we can have scallops more often.Yum :0)

Great with panko bread crumbs!

Delicious and easy! I cooked 28 divers scallops tonight and they were divine. I did have to cook them about twice as long as in the recipe however, but maybe that was due to their large size. Would definitely cook scallops this way again! Thanks!
