Instructions

Prepare all the necessary ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
In a bowl, mix the scallops with melted butter, garlic, and shallots. Season generously with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Gently stir to ensure even coating, then transfer the mixture to a casserole dish.
In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs and olive oil. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the scallops in the casserole dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until the bread crumbs are golden brown and the scallops are fully cooked, approximately 11 to 14 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
