Must admit that I used the broiler for this recipe this time, but look forward to doing these GREAT TASTING SCALLOPS on the BBQ another time! Did use lemon pepper instead of the usual S&P, & even found 3 Kiwi fruits that did wonders with the presentation while adding their own subdued flavor!

These were very good. I doubled the marinade recipe and also grilled about 1 pound of shrimp to go with these. It is similar to some other grilled seafood recipes I've tried, but this was nice because it wasn't overly salty, as I find some to be. A great basic way to grill scallops. I used another reviewer's suggestion to replace the butter with olive oil, and that worked well.

Wonderful and easy dinner! I made a slight change by using 12 oz of scallops using the broiler, served with a salad made with a bag of salad greens, three kiwi, cut into quarters, a pkg of cherry tomatoes and some parmesan. Added the scallops to the individual serving of salad for a wonderful light dinner. Thanks for sharing!
