Scallops for Idiots

My mom made this dish in one of our Sunday lunches. While hubby and I went grocery shopping the other day, hubby saw some scallops and mentioned that he liked the scallops that my mom made. So we bought some. This is super easy to make, idiot proof even. Buy scallops in their shells for they make a better presentation. Here's how:

Top scallops with very finely chopped garlic and parsley, sprinkle some sea salt (you only need a very small amount since scallops are naturally salty). Bake at 400 degrees for about five to seven minutes, depending on the size of the scallops. The scallops should still be a little runny when you take it out of the oven. If you bake it too long, they will dry out. Squeeze in some lemon, lime or calamansi (whatever you have in your fridge) right before serving. Enjoy!
