Grilled Hotate with Garlic Butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that brings out the natural sweetness of scallops. To make this recipe, you will need fresh hotate (scallops), garlic, butter, salt, and pepper. First, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, prepare the scallops by rinsing them under cold water and patting them dry with a paper towel. Next, season the scallops with salt and pepper. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for a minute until fragrant. Remove the garlic butter from the heat. Place the scallops on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and slightly firm to the touch. Brush the scallops with the garlic butter mixture during the last minute of cooking. Serve the grilled hotate with garlic butter immediately. The combination of the smoky grilled flavor and the rich garlic butter sauce makes this dish a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy!
