LOW-SODIUM PANKO-ENCRUSTED BAY SCALLOPS

Steps:

• 1. Thaw the scallops in a colander under cold running water. When they are loosened and soft, scoop them up in a paper towel and damp dry them.
• 2. Drop them in a large zip-lock bag, and then begin carefully and sparingly adding flour, just enough that the scallops become uniformly-coated. Bounce the bag around with your free hand to assist.
• 3. In a small bowl, crack an egg and whisk it. Add this to the scallops in the bag, and uniformly coat the scallops.
• 4. In another zip-lock bag, pour 1/2 cup of the panko bread crumbs. Using a slotted spoon, transfer over the scallops in groups and gradually coat them in the breadcrumbs. With the bag zipped, jostle the scallops then remove them to a dinner plate.
• 5. Allow the scallops to stand for about ten minutes to let the egg coating to stiffen and while doing so, start your deep frier.
• 6. When the oil is ready, using a slotted spoon, scoop up a batch of scallops and cook them in the oil until they are a light golden color. Serve with the low-sodium condiment of your choice, melted unsalted butter, etc.
