1 lb. scallops
2 tbsp. salad oil
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
Dash of paprika
Fine dry bread crumbs
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tbsp. water
4 tbsp. melted butter

Combine salad oil and lemon juice in a bowl. Marinate scallops in this for about an hour, stirring occasionally.

Drain scallops, then dip in egg mixed with water. Next roll in bread crumbs which have been seasoned with salt, pepper and paprika. Place scallops in a flat baking dish and pour melted butter over them.

Bake in a hot oven of 450 degrees for about 20 minutes. They should be richly brown and crisp on the outside. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.

Optional: Coat baking dish with a little white wine to add flavor.
