Whenever we get back to the Boston area, it's a priority to to have a meal at Legal Seafoods. I recently "re-discovered" this recipe buried in old newspaper clippings. I had tried to recreate it in the past but now know I was missing the most important ingredient - buttermilk. I made it again after posting the recipe so I have edited the original description. It's even better than I remembered, you might want to try just a dash (or more) of cayenne pepper. It's delightful !

I live in Maine and we have great seafood. We eat seafood 1 -2 times a week....all kinds of seafood. These are the best and easiest oven baked scallops I have ever prepared. My husband gave this 11 on a scale of 1-10. Excellent! Didn’t change a thing. The squeeze of lemon before serving is the finishing touch.
