Recipe of the week - baked scallops

This was the first time that i ever cooked scallops.  i love scallops but have always been apprehensive about cooking seafood.  i think it's because i tend to over cook my meats and seafood is especially not good when it's over cooked.  i conquered my fear of cooking shrimp, so it was time to move on to scallops!

This recipe was actually on the bag of scallops.  i thought i'd try it out and ended up really liking it!  i forgot to take a picture but it turned out like a very nice looking casserole.  Oh well :)

1 lb. scallops
1/2 cup heavy cream
salt
pepper
1 cup of cracker crumbs, divided
dash of nutmeg
2 Tbsp melted butter

Preheat oven to 350.  Rinse scallops in cold water and pat dry.  Mix scallops with 1/2 cup heavy cream.  Add salt, pepper, 3/4 cup of cracker crumbs and a dash of nutmeg.  Place in a pan and cover with 1/4 cup of cracker crumbs.  Sprinkle with melted butter.  Bake for approximately 20 minutes.

Enjoy!
