   • Preheat your broiler to high and position the oven rack a few inches away from the heat source.
   • Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

2. Seasoning the Scallops:

   • Arrange the scallops in a broiler-safe baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

   • Drizzle the melted butter and olive oil mixture evenly over the scallops.
   • Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika evenly over the scallops, ensuring each one is lightly coated with the seasoning.

3. Broiling the Scallops:

   • Place the baking dish or baking sheet with the seasoned scallops under the preheated broiler.
   • Broil the scallops for approximately 12 minutes, or until they are opaque and slightly browned on top.
   • Carefully remove the baking dish or baking sheet from the oven using oven mitts or kitchen towels.
   • Using tongs, gently flip each scallop over.
   • Return the scallops to the broiler and continue to broil for an additional 4 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.

4. Serving:

   • Once the scallops are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven.
   • Garnish with freshly chopped chives and parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
   • Serve the broiled scallops immediately as an appetizer or as part of a main course.
   • Enjoy your delicious and succulent broiled scallops!
