Ingredients

> 1 (16 oz) pkg Nature's Promise® Sea Scallops, thawed
> Metal  or soaked wooden skewers
> 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
> 1 lemon
> 1 clove garlic
> 4 tbsp butter
> 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley

Steps

1
Set grill or grill pan to medium-high. With paper towels, blot the scallops until very dry. Thread onto skewers. Brush all over with 1 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper.
2
Halve the lemon and brush cut sides with remaining 1 tbsp oil. Place scallops onto grill and cook 2 min. per side, until cooked through.
3
Place lemon halves on grill, cut-sides down, and grill 2–3 min., until grill marks form. Transfer lemon halves and scallops to a platter.
4
Into a medium microwave-safe bowl, with a garlic press, crush the garlic clove. Add the butter. Cover with vented plastic and microwave 1 min., until butter melts. Stir in the parsley and season with pepper to taste. Squeeze juice from grilled lemon into butter and stir to combine.
5
To serve, drizzle butter over scallops.

Tips

To prevent scallops from spinning around on skewers, thread scallops onto 2 parallel skewers.
