1

Heat grill. In medium bowl, combine all ingredients except scallops; mix well. Add scallops; toss to coat.
2

When ready to grill, with slotted spoon, place scallops in grill basket; reserve butter mixture. Place basket on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 3 to 8 minutes or until scallops turn opaque, turning and brushing twice with butter mixture. Discard any remaining butter mixture.

Expert Tips

Grill baskets make it easy to turn or mix foods, and they keep smaller foods from slipping through the grill grate. A sheet of double heavy-duty foil, poked with several holes, performs the same function.
For Caribbean Grill Basket Shrimp, use 1 1/2 pounds of peeled and deveined large shrimp in place of the scallops. Cook the shrimp just until they turn pink.
