Grilled Scallops

Ingredients

• 0.75 cup butter
• 2/3 cup chopped onions
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 pinch salt
• 1.5 pounds sea scallops
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps

1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; 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 until scallops turn opaque, turning once, about 4 to 5 minutes.
4. Return remaining butter mixture to saucepan; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and keep warm while scallops cook. Toss or brush over grilled scallops and serve.
