In a small pot, combine 2 ounces of chopped garlic with ½ pound of unsalted butter, cut into pieces for even melting.
Melt the butter over low heat, allowing the garlic to cook until just turning color. Remove from heat and stir to slow down the cooking. For added depth, a splash of chicken stock can be mixed in.
Clean your scallops and ensure the shells are dry. Place the clean shells, open side down, on a sheet pan. Arrange them so they are touching but not overlapping.
Sprinkle fresh grated Romano cheese over each scallop, followed by a generous layer of seasoned breadcrumbs.
Spoon the garlic butter over each scallop, filling the shell so that the scallops have their own cooking vessel.
Broil on the bottom rack for 4-5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. For a perfectly crispy topping, cover with foil for the first 2-3 minutes, then remove it for the last minute.
Once cooked, squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juiceover the scallops, and add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Grill Option:
For a smoky twist, grill the scallops over high heat. You can either use a sheet pan or place the shells directly on the grill, though be prepared for some flames! With a bit of tongs expertise, you’ll achieve a delicious charred flavor.
Notes
Savor the delight of perfectly broiled scallops, bursting with cheesy, garlicky goodness. This is a surefire way to impress at your next dinner or special occasion. Enjoy this seafood favorite and elevate your dining experience to new heights!
