Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Pour melted butter into a 2-quart oval casserole dish. Distribute butter and scallops evenly inside the dish.

Combine the bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, parsley, minced garlic and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture over the scallops.

Bake in pre-heated oven until scallops are firm, about 20 minutes.

Low Carb Bread Crumbs: We recommend using the pre-made low-carb bread crumbs currently available from Synergy Diet, but you can keep a supply on hand by making them yourself as well. Make a loaf of low-carb bread your choice of which one; then dry the slices and crush by hand or in food processor. Another option is to use crushed pork rinds. And finally, the Plain or Sesame Cheeters crackers also crush well in a blender or food processor to make great "crumbs". Season as you wish.
