Rotisserie Scallops with Lemon Herb Butter

Cuisinart original

The butter makes this dish rich and luxurious, but if you’re looking for a lighter meal, substitute extra virgin olive oil for the butter and serve on the side.

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice together with the salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil. Place the scallops in a large mixing bowl and toss with the lemon juice mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; let marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. After the time as elapsed, thread the scallops on the provided skewers. Hang the skewers onto the roasting rack as instructed (page TK). Place in the Cuisinart® Vertical Rotisserie and set the temperature to 500°F. Set the timer to 16 minutes, or until scallops are opaque and thoroughly cooked. While the scallops are cooking, add the butter, parsley and lemon zest to the bowl of a Cuisinart® mini chopper fitted with the chopping blade. Process until thoroughly combined; reserve. To serve, place the scallops on a serving tray and dot with the lemon herb butter. You can also melt the butter and serve as a dipping sauce or drizzle over the top of the scallops.
