This was good, but I think it has too much olive oil and wine. Next time I make it I will add the wine to the herb/lime mixture before adding to the baking pan and omit the drizzle of olive oil all together and just add the mixture that I toss the scallops in. It made the Italian Bread crumbs a little soggy with that much liquid. The overall flavor was really good. I served this with peel&eat shrimp, Bergy's Super Shrimp & Garlic Bruschetta recipe #59545 and Corn on the cob. Really nice dinner. Thanks for posting.
