Baked Scallops

I have posted before about the great recipes I get from Rita, and lucky for you, I have another one right here! The scallop recipe is super easy, super fast, and super delicious. It is a tiny bit decadent, with the butter and half and half; but it's worth it!

Bay scallops are usually MUCH cheaper than sea scallops; and they work quite well here. You can also sub in heavy cream for the half and half if that is all you have in the fridge. I served this with garlic mashed potatoes and my standard fave spicy garlic roasted broccoli.
