This looks really good and plan to make it for dinner tonight.
Although it's not clear in the recipe, so using the photo as a guide, I plan to use a cookie sheet as a base, put a browned scallop on a flattened parchment cupcake liner, pour some of the cream mixture over the scallop then broil.
If there is a better process please let me know. Tia!

Those are actual scallop shells they are broiled in. The cupcake liners might burn under the broiler.

Does anyone know the carb count for scallops? When looking up on google I get anything between 0gr carbs/100gr to 6g carbs/100gr...
So it's either nothing (like a lot of meat and fishes) or it's way too much for a keto diet... Anyone?4

Alex, I use a trustworthy nutrition app called Cronometer. It says a cooked sea scallop that is large weighs 15 g and has .8 carbs.

I think the recipe is missing a step. Assume after searing the scallops I put them in some sort of oven safe dish, pour the sauce over them and then follow the last step to finish them?
