So…guess what. While we were busily cooking the yummy dish below, my dad (the best dad in the world, mind you!) was looking up a recipe for grilled sea scallops as a treat for my coming-home Saturday dinner. Best dad, right?! 
Well, part of the fun was helping him make the “sauce” for the scallops…which turned out ok, but was a bit unnecessary, and the scallops didn’t really pick up any flavor from the “sauce” itself.
So this is the recipe that we came up with instead, based off of this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds sea scallops (you can buy a bag of frozen scallops and defrost them. ) We just left them whole, but you could also cut them into halves or thirds.
Melted butter (quantity? Probably about a quarter cup)
Onion powder and/or dried minced onion flakes
Garlic powder
optional: red pepper flakes
shish kebob fixings (mushrooms, red bell pepper, red onion, zucchini, grape tomatoes, etc)
Mix the seasonings with the butter and brush over the scallops. Thread the fixings and scallops onto the shish kebob skewers, and grill until done (My dad is the one who knows grilling stuff…). If desired, brush with more melted butter + onion powder + garlic powder mixture.
And…sigh with bliss. Aaaaaahhhh…soooo good.
