1
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic (from the 2 cloves), lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined, then remove from heat and set aside.
2
Prepare the Scallops
Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving a nice sear when grilling.
3
Season the Scallops
Brush the scallops lightly with olive oil and season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

4
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it is hot enough to sear the scallops properly.
5
Grill the Scallops
Place the seasoned scallops on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and have nice grill marks.
6
Baste with Garlic Butter
During the last minute of grilling, brush the scallops with the prepared garlic butter to enhance their flavor.
7
Serve
Remove the scallops from the grill, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
