Butter individual shells or ramekins. Cut scallops into 1/2 inch slices. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and mix in salt, pepper, garlic, onion, parsley, and lemon juice. Stir in scallops, coating them well, then divide the mixture among the buttered scallop shells. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter.

Can also be done in one casserole dish, but allow a little longer cooking time.
