Scallops Harborside Style

1 pound fresh or frozen bay or sea scallops
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1/3 cup soft cracker or bread crumbs
Dash garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon paprika

If using large sea scallops, slice horizontally through center. Add sherry to the melted butter. Put 2 tablespoons of the butter/sherry mixture in shallow baking pan and arrange scallops in single layer. Combine crumbs and seasonings and sprinkle over scallops. Drizzle remaining butter/sherry over scallops. Broil about 5 to 7 minutes. Serve hot with lemon wedges. Serves 3 or 4 as a main course, 6 to 8 as an appetizer.
