Rinse the scallops, let them drain and pat them dry. Mince the garlic very finely.

Using a microwave-safe dish, melt the butter with garlic, parsley, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Place the rinsed scallops in a shallow dish all in one layer.

Drizzle the melted butter on top and broil the scallops on high for 8 mins or until they start to brown slightly on top.
