Collect all necessary components.

Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).

Mix together the scallops, melted butter, garlic, and shallots in a container. Add a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste. Gently blend the ingredients together. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
