I love scallops. They’re lean and healthy and so simple to prepare. Honestly I’d never tried baking them before and now that I have you’ll definitely see more recipes for them here!

Bake for 9 minutes and then flip the scallops.
Again, season the scallops to taste with the salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.
Return the scallops to oven for 9 minutes.
Serve immediately with crusty bread.
