1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Then rinse the scallops properly removing the side muscles if you wish, after rinsing pat dry with a clean towel or paper towels.
3. Next, take a bowl and add the butter, wine, lemon juice, salt, minced garlic or garlic powder, Cayenne pepper, dry parsley, paprika, and the grated parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly and set it aside for a couple of minutes until the mixture thickens.
4. Add the scallops into the bowl and carefully mix them with your washed hands or a spatula.
5. After that, use some butter to rub on your shallow baking dish and carefully place the scallops inside it, remember not to place them on top of each other.
6. Spread the remaining liquid from the mixture evenly inside the baking dish, cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake for about 25 minutes at 350°F, the scallops should look opaque when evenly cooked. This cooking time is for large scallops so if yours are smaller start checking for doneness after 20 minutes or use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness, it should be around  115 degrees F when ready.
7. Remove the scallops and sprinkle with some grated parmesan cheese, paprika, and broil for 2-3 minutes to get a nice crust and color. Remove them again and sprinkle some chopped parsley or basil on top and serve.
