• 1/2 pound bay scallops, or more to taste

• 2/3 cup chopped onions
• clove sgarlic, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• pinch salt

1. Rinse scallops and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
3. Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and salt.
4. Place scallops in a large bowl and toss with butter mixture. Let stand for about 2 minutes.
5. Remove scallops from butter mixture, reserving excess in the bowl. Cook scallops on the preheated grill using a wire grill basket until golden, tossing occasionally for even cooking, 3 to 4 minutes.
