Some might say it’s a bit pretentious of a name for “Baked Scallops and Stir-fried veggies,” but a dish with class deserves such a description!

1 stick of unsalted butter, melted
2 lbs bay scallops, rinsed and patted dry
2/3 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400 F. In a 9″ round dish, add melted butter, and scallops that have been drained, rinsed, and patted dry between paper towels. Toss to combine, then distribute into one even layer.

In a bowl, combine all the other ingredients and using a fork, mix well to combine. Layer this topping evenly over the scallop and butter mixture.

Bake until scallops are firm and opaque, about 25-30 minutes.

Serves: 6

(For the stir fried veggies, use any mix that you like. I used baby corn, snow peas and broccoli. Heat your wok (or large skillet) with 2 tbsp oil. Add 2 minced cloves of garlic, and 2 tbsp finely diced fresh, peeled ginger. Saute this for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and then add veggies and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until tender and heated through.)
