Broiled Lemon Scallops

I make these scallops all the time because they are so easy and delicious. This is a great dish to serve at a dinner party because it takes such little prep work. I like to serve this over risotto or pasta.

Turn on broiler. In a shallow baking dish, arrange:

16 large rinsed sea scallops ( about 4 per person)

In a small bowl, melt:

2 tablespoons butter

Once butter has cooled a little, add:

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 tablespoon kosher salt

1/2 tablespoon garlic powder

Pour butter/lemon mixture over scallops and broil for about 10-12 minutes or the tops start to get golden.

Serves 4
