Use the tender and flavorful sea scallops for this recipe.

You can make any shellfish with White Wine Butter Sauce, just adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Ingredients:
1LB fresh sea scallops
1 TBLS shallot, minced
4 TBLS unsalted butter
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 TBLS fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup Italian flavored bread crumbs mix with a drizzle of olive oil so they are a little pasty.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400.
Place the scallops in an oven proof baking dish, set aside.
In a frying pan saute the butter and shallot for a few minutes. Turn the heat to high and add the wine and lemon juice. Simmer for a few minutes.
Pour over the scallops and top each of them with a little of the bread crumb mixture. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until they are just firm.
