Baked Scallops Escargot Style

Saturday, November 18, 2023
If you love the rich, garlicky flavor of classic escargot but want something a little more familiar and just as elegant, scallops prepared escargot-style are the perfect solution.

Tender sea scallops are baked or broiled in a luxurious garlic butter sauce with herbs, much like traditional escargot, creating a dish that feels restaurant-worthy but is incredibly easy to make at home. The scallops soak up the buttery, garlicky goodness beautifully, resulting in a savory, indulgent bite every time.

This recipe is perfect for seafood lovers, dinner parties, or when you want an impressive appetizer without complicated techniques.

Since scallops cook quickly and have a naturally sweet, delicate flavor, they pair wonderfully with garlic, parsley, lemon, and buttery breadcrumbs—just like escargot.

The result is a dish that feels classic and gourmet but approachable for anyone who may not be ready to try snails.

Whether served as an appetizer or a light seafood entrée, these scallops escargot-style are guaranteed to disappear quickly.

This dish will even impress your guests when you host a dinner party, and we often make this as an appetizer, especially around the Christmas Eve holiday when we celebrate the Feast of 7 Fishes.
