Directions

40 min.
1. Step

Rinse the scallops and pat them dry with a paper towel.

2. Step

Season the flour with salt and pepper.

3. Step

Roll each scallop in the seasoned flour, and then dredge them in the beaten eggs. Following this, roll the scallops in breadcrumbs until they are fully coated.

4. Step

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

5. Step

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the scallops to the skillet. Cook them for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Remember not to overcrowd the skillet; do the frying in batches if necessary.

6. Step

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried scallops to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

7. Step

Serve the Breaded and Fried Scallops hot, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh parsley.
