Turn broiler on (400-500°) and move the oven rack to the middle of the oven.
In a medium mixing bowl stir the melted butter with the garlic. Set aside.
Rinse the scallops and pat dry.
Place the scallops in the bowl of butter and garlic and gently turn them over to coat them well.
Place the scallops on the non stick baking pan and sprinkle them with the lemon juice.
Broil them for 6-10 minutes watching them and when they start to turn golden brown remove from the oven, flip them over and broil for another 4-6 minutes until the tops are browning again. Remove from the oven and serve.
Notes
Scallops are cooked when the flesh is pearly, opaque and flakes.
