Steps
The scallops are tasty mollusks contained in large, very showy shells. When I was little, I remember washing them after use and keeping them for other preparations (for example, I would place a lettuce leaf with dressed shrimp on top).
Let’s see the preparation of the baked scallops au gratin.
Start the preparation with the careful cleaning of the mollusks and shells under running water, then pat them dry with paper towels and place them on a baking tray.
Cover the mollusk with a tablespoon of breadcrumbs and some grated Parmesan cheese.
Season with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of pepper.
Finally, a bit of parsley and a drizzle of oil.
Bake in a preheated oven at 356 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
Ready to be served hot!
