Easy Grilled Scallops Recipe

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic; cook and stir until softened, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in fresh lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Place the scallops in a large bowl and gently toss with the prepared butter mixture; let them marinate for about 2 minutes.
3. Carefully thread the marinated scallops onto skewers or arrange them in a wire grill basket. Cook on the preheated grill, turning once, until the scallops turn opaque and are cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
4. Return the remaining butter mixture to the saucepan; bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and keep warm while the scallops finish cooking on the grill. Toss or brush the warm butter sauce over the grilled scallops before serving for added flavor.
