1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper |
1 pound sea scallops (about 14) |
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. Place first 7 ingredients in a food processor; process until crackers are finely ground. Place crumb mixture in a shallow dish.
2. Pat scallops dry with paper towels. Dredge scallops in crumb mixture.
3. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of scallops; cook 3 minutes on each side or until golden. Remove scallops from pan. Repeat procedure with remaining oil and scallops. Sprinkle with lemon juice and parsley, and serve immediately.
