Baked Scallops in the Shell - YUM!

I adapted Baked Scallop Normandy recipe so that I could eat this - OMG - it is a wonderful appetizer or side dish.

You will need (12) 2-3" clam shells that are oven safe.
Preheat the oven to 350º
(8) finely chopped scallops
(4) finely chopped baby Portabello mushrooms
(1) tablespoon of finely chopped chives
(1) tablespoon of finely chopped purple onion
(1) tablespoon of finely chopped parsley
(3) pieces of Manna bread or Ezekiel 4:0 100% sprouted bread that crust is removed, bread dried out (not stale) and finely chopped into bread crumbs - yields about a cup
(1) tablespoon of Merlo

Mix the above ingredients and spoon mixture into each of the 12 clam shells.
Place one each of (12) additional whole scallops on top of mixture.
Mix (1) teaspoon each of onion powder, garlic powder and sea salt and put in a shaker and season each of the shell's contents. Take (3) tablespoons of butter cut up into 12 pats and put on top of each scallop.

Bake for 25 minutes, then broil for 5 more minutes. Ready to serve.
