Cooking Instructions

Step 1
To start, grab a large resealable plastic bag and toss in the dry bread crumbs along with a pinch of salt.

Now, it’s time to add the sea scallops! Do this in small batches, giving the bag a good shake to ensure each scallop is evenly coated in that delicious breadcrumb mixture.
Step 3
Keep going until all your scallops are perfectly dressed.

Step 9
In the same skillet, pour in some dry white wine, fresh lemon juice, minced parsley, and minced garlic.

Bring this delightful mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld beautifully.
