  6. Arrange 1 pound of scallops on top of the mushrooms.
  7. Drizzle the remaining garlic butter sauce over the scallops.
  8. Sprinkle 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon of reserved garlic butter sauce over the scallops.
  9. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and bubbly.
  10. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
