Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Broiler

    Preheat your broiler to high heat, positioning the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Scallops

    Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This ensures they broil instead of steam.

  3. 3

    Season the Scallops

    In a bowl, combine the scallops with salt and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Combine Wine and Lemon Juice

    Add white wine and lemon juice to the melted butter and garlic mixture. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Prepare Baking Dish

    Lightly grease a broiler-safe baking dish with a bit of the butter-wine mixture.

Cooking

  1. 7

    Arrange Scallops

    Place the seasoned scallops in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.

  2. 8

    Drizzle Sauce

    Pour the butter and wine sauce over the scallops, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 9

    Broil the Scallops

    Broil the scallops for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are opaque and the edges are golden brown.

  4. 10

    Garnish

    Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the scallops before serving.
