Baked Scallops

Butter individual shells or ramekins. Cut scallops into 1/2 inch slices. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and mix in salt, pepper, garlic, onion, parsley, and lemon juice. Stir in scallops, coating them well, then divide the mixture among buttered scallop shells (or ramekins). Heat the oven to 400°F. Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, toss the breadcrumbs in it, and scatter them on the scallops. Bake shells for 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with paprika and serve.
