2 lbs. fresh shrimp or scallops
8 tbsp. butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots or scallions

Clean shrimp or scallops. Preheat boiler to highest temperature. In a shallow baking dish, melt butter and add oil, lemon juice, chopped shallots, garlic, salt and a few grindings of pepper. Add shrimp or scallops and turn them in butter or oil until they glisten on all sides. Broil 3-4" from heat for 5 minutes, then turn over and broil 5-10 minutes longer, or until lightly browned and firm to the touch. Be careful not to overcook. Transfer to a serving plate, pour sauce over them and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon quarters.
