MICROWAVE SCALLOPS IN GARLIC BUTTER
2 tbsp. butter 1 tbsp. dry white wine, vermouth or chablis 1 tbsp. lemon juice 2 tbsp. snipped parsley 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 tsp. salt 1 lb. fresh bay scallops MICROWAVE: Place butter in uncovered 1 1/2 quart microwave-safe casserole. Microwave on high 30-45 seconds or until melted. Stir in remaining ingredients mixing to coat evenly. Cover with casserole lid or plastic wrap. Microwave on medium 3 minutes. Stir and turn dish. Continue microwaving about 2 more minutes until scallops are opaque. Let stand 1 minute with lid in place. Check for doneness. This method will retain the delicate texture and flavor. If you feel they are not quite done, use only 30 second intervals of added time. Serve these over hot linguine noodles or rice. CONVENTIONAL: Saute scallops in butter quickly; add remaining ingredients, cooking all just until scallops are opaque.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

You are so right Chichi... My wife and I are in our 60's and lost our business, home and everything we practically own due to covid-19. We are basically homeless. A kind friend has let us stay at his business office until things turn around for us, and the only means for us to cook is with a microwave. So I totally agree with you. Thank you for your awesome reply... It really hit home. Bless you and your family.

Cooking fish and vegetables in a microwave is very good. You just have to be careful not to overcook. Cook separately - important.
