Ingredients List:
1/3 cup of light mayonnaise
1 minced garlic clove
1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
lemon wedges (for serving)
3/4 teaspoon of paprika
ground pepper
Coarse salt
Hot sauce, to taste
1/4 cup of plain dried breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour
1 pound of patted dry bay scallops
1/2 cup of vegetable oil (such as safflower)
4 hot dog buns

How to cook:

1. Combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, teaspoon of paprika, and the hot sauce together in a small bowl. Season with pepper and salt and then set aside.

2. Combine the flour, breadcrumbs, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of paprika together in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then add the scallops and toss to evenly coat.
