Scalloped Scallops - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pt. scallops
1/2 c. butter
1 c. cracker crumbs
1 c. soft bread crumbs
2/3 c. light cream
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Wash and cut the scallops to equal sizes.
Melt the butter and stir in the crumbs.
In a buttered baking dish (I prefer a glass casserole) put a layer of crumbs, half the scallops and half the cream, repeat with remainder of ingredients.
Salt and pepper each layer and cover with butter crumbs.
Sprinkle a little paprika on top.
Bake in 350\u00b0 oven until crumbs are brown about 25 minutes.
I used to incorporate a couple of ounces of dry vermouth in the mixture.
Really enhances the flavor.
Never cook the scallops in aluminum dish.
Serves 4 to 6.
