Baked Ranch Scallops

Not sure how to cook scallops? We make it easy to make them golden and tasty with this throw-together ranch-style coating on our Baked Ranch Scallops.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 (1-ounce) envelope ranch salad dressing mix
• 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1 pound bay scallops, rinsed (see Note)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
    
2. In a large resealable plastic storage bag, combine dressing mix and bread crumbs; seal and shake to mix. Add scallops and toss to coat.
    
3. Place scallops in a single layer in prepared baking dish, and bake 13 to 16 minutes, or until outsides are golden and insides are firm and white.

Note

Bay or sea scallops will work fine here. The smaller bay scallops tend to be sweeter. If you use sea scallops, add an additional 5 minutes to the baking time.
