Grilled Scallops with Lemon and Butter Sauce: A Stay at Home Parent’s Recipe As a stay at home parent, I understand the need to find creative recipes that are both simple and delicious. That’s why I love to make grilled scallops with lemon and butter sauce. This recipe is easy to make, can be prepped ahead of time, and is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. Plus, it’s a great way to add some seafood into your family’s diet! Not only is this recipe incredibly tasty, but it also has a special story behind it. When I was growing up, my family would often take vacations to the beach. We would usually bring a big cooler full of food for our meals, including lots of fresh seafood. One night, my dad decided to try something different and grill scallops for dinner. He topped them with a lemon and butter sauce that was out of this world! We all loved them so much that we had them again on our next trip and have made them ever since. Now I make this recipe for my own family as a special treat. Here’s how you can make grilled scallops with lemon and butter sauce in your own kitchen: Ingredients: -1 lb large sea scallops -2 tablespoons butter -1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice -2 garlic cloves, minced -Salt and pepper, to taste -Chopped fresh parsley (optional) Instructions: 1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. 2. Rinse scallops under cool water and pat dry with paper towels. Place scallops on a plate and season with salt and pepper. 3. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, until sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside. 4. Place scallops onto the preheated grill or grill pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly charred and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Transfer cooked scallops to a plate or platter and top with lemon butter sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley (optional) before serving. Enjoy! Making grilled scallops with lemon and butter sauce is an easy way to bring some delicious seafood into your family’s mealtime routine! The bright flavors of the lemon butter sauce pair perfectly with the tender scallops, creating an unforgettable meal that will leave your family satisfied and asking for more! Plus, it’s a great way to share my childhood memory with my own kids—I hope you enjoy it just as much as we do!
