Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Prepare the scallops: Arrange the scallops in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Make the garlic butter sauce: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Coat the scallops: Pour the garlic butter sauce over the scallops, making sure each one is generously coated. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake the scallops: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and cooked through. The edges should be lightly golden brown.
Garnish and serve: Remove the scallops from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for extra freshness.
