Steps

  1. Set an oven rack about 4 inches below the broiler and heat the broiler on high.

  2. Toss the scallops with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, the Old Bay and the garlic. Spread them in one layer in an oven-safe skillet or a small baking dish.

  3. Mix the panko with the last tablespoon of butter and scatter it over the top.

  4. Broil 3 to 4 minutes, until the crumbs are golden and the scallops are opaque all the way through. Cut one open to check.

  5. Top with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
