Steps:
- 1. When cleaning your scallops only remove the meat from the top shell. Leave the meat attached to the bottom half
- 2. Melt 1 stick of butter with 4 minced cloves of garlic on a low heat. Add your creole seasoning( to your taste) and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Low heat just to bring the flavors together.
- 3. Crush up the sleeve of crackers and put in separate bowl. Cut the tomato in 4 pieces, de-seed and dice the flesh fine and add to the cracker mixture.
- 4. Mix together the cracker mixture and melted butter mixture.
- 5. Add "Just A Pinch" of cracker mixture to each scallop. You don't want to over power the flavor of the scallop. I then add more creole seasoning and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and another squeeze of lemon. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes

PRAWNS AND SCALLOPS ON THE HALF SHELL
This sounds wonderful to serve guests as a first course. From the California Culinary Academy - here's what they have to say. Food.com won't take scallop shells as an ingredient, but there are a great way to showcase this dish. For this elegant dish, wine-poached scallops and prawns are mixed with a light, low-fat cheese sauce, dusted with bread crumbs, and broiled in scallop shells until brown and bubbly. Equally appropriate as a first course or light luncheon, it has great nutritional benefits: plenty of calcium and good-quality protein are contained in both the shellfish and the sauce. A special bonus of this recipe is that can be made ahead and frozen for several weeks. Broil right before serving.
