1. Remove scallops from shell and place to the side. In a small fry pan, soften butter until melted.
2. Add lemon juice, as well as salt and pepper to taste.
3. Add chopped parsley.
4. Sear scallops in the pan for 1-2 minutes each side.
5. Hold pan on a slight angle and use a spoon to pour the lemon butter sauce over the top.
