I am a sucker for all thing seafood and I love scallops.
My neighborhood store has a scallops sale this week and I just had to buy them and make these amazing garlic butter scallops with lemon sauce.
And guess what, I finished all of them.

Most people would think of scallop as a super fancy ingredient that you can only get in expensive restaurants.
This is totally wrong.
When scallops are on sale, you can get 1 lb for a fraction of eating out, and you get 10x the quantity and not just two on your plate!

My garlic lemon butter scallops were perfectly cooked, in the most amazing and mouthwatering lemon sauce, and it took me less than 20 minutes.

Serve them with plain spaghetti and slurp down the lemon sauce.
Date nights at home are easier and cheaper than you think!

Another hit! I love the flavor and simplicity of preparation. I made this recipe several times now. I am slowly cooking my way through your site. Haven’t tried anything I don’t keep cooking over and over.

Could I use frozen scallops?
Rasa Malaysia
Yes you can!

This looks very good but it does not say if the garlic is to be chopped, minced, etc. Looking forward to giving it a try! Can’t rate it if I haven’t tried it yet

Hi Brenda, garlic is minced. I just updated the recipe. It was an omission.

Can this Lemon and Garlic Butter be used as a lobster Dipping Sauce?
Rasa Malaysia
Of course, that would be a very good idea. :)
