1 1/2 - 2 lbs. sea scallops, halved
1 1/2 sticks butter
1 c. finely crushed seasoned bread crumbs
1 c. crushed Ritz crackers
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 pt. heavy cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in large saucepan. Add bread crumbs and crackers. While continuously mixing, add pepper, salt, garlic powder and lemon juice. Slowly fold in scallops. Place in ungreased 2 quart casserole and pour some heavy cream over mixture. (Just enough to coat the scallops.) Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
