Preparation:
- Place Bay Scallops on a small cast iron skillet and pat them dry.
- Season with salt and pepper and place 3 or 4 thinly sliced pats of butter on top of scallops.
- Add seasoned panko breadcrumbs if desired.
- Broil just until tops of scallops turn a light golden brown. The scallops don't need to be cooked all the way through.

Tip:
If you like the scalloped cooked more, place skillet on stove top and cook on medium high heat for 3 minutes. If using a broil pan, bake scallops before broiling for 3 - 5 minutes at 375.
