Notes
- Storing: Broiled scallops are best served immediately. If you happen to have any leftovers store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. This recipe is not freezer-friendly and scallops do not freeze well therefore freezing is not recommended.

- Reheating: To reheat leftover scallops, place them on a baking sheet and broil for about 30-60 seconds or until warmed through. You can also reheat them in the microwave, but they may become slightly tough.
