INGREDIENTS:

  • 3/4 cup butter

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

  • 1 1/2 pounds sea scallops
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice and salt. Place scallops in a large bowl, and toss with butter mixture. Let stand for about 2 minutes.
  3. Thread scallops onto skewers, or use a wire grill basket. Cook on preheated grill for about 4 minutes per side.
