--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         bay scallops
   4      tablespoon    sweet sherry
     1/2  teaspoon      salt, to taste
   4      ounces        butter -- melted
   2      ounces        dry white breadcrumbs
   4      teaspoons     dry sherry
                        pepper

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 550F. Turn setting to Broil. If using cheap scallops, add sweet sherry and salt and marinate for awhile. Melt the butter. Put half into a serving casserole and mix the other half with the breadcrumbs. Put scallops into butter-bottomed casserole and top with crumbs. Sprinkle sherry and pepper over. Broil until crumbs are golden, just a few minutes.
