1 pkg. (12 oz.) frozen scallops, thawed or 12 oz. fresh scallops
3/4 c. half & half
1 c. dry bread crumbs
1/2 c. butter, melted
2 tsp. celery seed
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Paprika

If scallops are large, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Remove any shell particles and wash scallops. Arrange in greased oblong baking dish, 12 x 7 1/2 x 2 inches or square pan, 9 x 9 x 2 inches. Pour about half of the half and half on scallops.

Mix bread crumbs, butter, celery seed, salt and pepper; sprinkle over scallops. Top with remaining half and half (liquid should come about 3/4 of the way up on the scallops). Sprinkle with paprika. Cook, uncovered, in 375 degree oven until hot and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Preparation time: 10 minutes. Serves: 4.
