What a GREAT way to serve the smaller Bay scallops!Great flavor and easy to make. I made no changes to the original recipe and thought that it was perfect.This is very similar to shrimp dejonghe with the bread crumbs and garlic. A definate keeper.

    Simple and sensational! I soaked the scallops in milk while they defrosted, then I patted almost dry. I had some Panko, so I added some seasoning to that before breading. Sauted in butter. Served these on top of a spinach salad. We were in heaven. Lovely flavors, and a lovely presentation. Thanks for sharing one of my NEW Tried & True recipes. Definately try these!!

    I have a 9 year old daughter who is a very picky eater. She could not eat enough of these. The whole family enjoyed this but my daughter is now addicted! Give this a try I don't think you will be disappointed. Thank You for a great recipe!

    This is a fabulous way to prepare scallops...we loved everything about it. Made it exactly as called for, and will definitely make it again. Thanks for posting!

    I had to try this, being MY DAUGHTER is also named ALEXANDRA. It was simple and VERY TASTY. I thawed bay scallops in Milk, and added fresh oregano & basil, and dried rosemary to Panko. I also chopped a part of a hot pepper from our garden to add w/ the cayenne and sautee. We put the scallops on top of lightly buttered angel hair pasta. DELICIOUS!! My wife even enjoyed it!! LOL!! Thanx so much!

    I'm not one to leave negative reviews, but this one just wasn't to our liking. Something about it just wasn't right. I didn't change the recipe at all. The breadcrumbs didn't stick to the scallops when it was all said and done and the texture turned into something mushy, which I think was part of our troubles. . .

    This was sooo sweet and garlicky and crunchy and soft and light and rich. Wish I had reread Miss Annie's review and soaked the scallops as she did. It would have allowed me to get a bit more panko attached to the scallops, I think. I'll give it a try next time and there will definitely be a next time.

    This was an excellent recipe. I suffer from FOFC (fear of fish cooking) and this was a treat to have something turn out so good. I added some Blackened Redfish Magic and served this over angel hair pasta. Thanks again for a great recipe.
