15-16 sea scallops, rinsed and drained

5 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots, chopped
3 pinches ground nutmeg salt and pepper to taste

4 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup chopped parsley
lemon wedges for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 425F degrees.
2. Place scallops, melted butter, garlic, and shallots in a bowl. Season with
nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine. Transfer to a casserole dish.
3. In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs and olive oil. Sprinkle on top
of scallops.
4. Bake in preheated oven until crumbs are brown and scallops are done,
about 11 to 14 minutes. Top with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side
5. If desired, broil the scallops for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time.
