Simple Herbed Scallops
Living in Kansas, fresh seafood can be hard to come by. Luckily, frozen scallops aren't. This dish offers coastal flavor to those of us in the Midwest. —Sarah Befort, Hays, Kansas

Made recipe exact, simple and quick with ingredients have on hand. Felt there was too much butter ( personal preference), next time will use half the amount or at least increase breadcrumbs . Thanks Sarah!
This was a tasty recipe and really easy. I used colossal frozen scallops, thawed in the fridge or cold water. Remember to pay the scallops dry. I didn’t have any tarragon, so I used dill instead. I used panko style bread crumbs. I doubled the recipe and served as an appetizer, but these would also be great as a main course with mashed potatoes and asparagus or broccoli.
Sandy, thaw frozen scallops in the refrigerator. Good recipe, tasty.
Sounds great! Question, do you thaw scallops (and shrimp, if used) before baking or put in frozen?
This was a very flavorful and easy way to make scallops. I loved the texture of the breadcrumbs on top! I'll definitely make this recipe again.
Wow, this recipe has been republished several times, I see, so it must be a favorite with the editors and now I am a fan, too. Other reviewers added shrimp to the mix, so I followed their advice and did the same.. I did use the tarragon, used Panko style bread crumbs, and sprinkled just a bit of curry powder over the whole thing. I love the idea of getting a bit of a crusty top. This Volunteer Field Editor is happy to give this five stars.
Simple to make and full of flavor. Will be making this again soon!!
I omitted the tarragon but added frozen shrimp. This recipe is so simple and delicious. My entire family enjoys this and looks forward to having it again and again!
I added salad sized shrimp to this recipe and omitted the tarragon. Such a delicious recipe. I am looking forward to making it again!
These were very tasty and quick to make. The whole family enjoyed them.
