In a medium sauté pan over a low fire melt the ¼ cup of butter and sauté the garlic and the scallops  until the scallops are firm to touch and lose their translucent appearance. Add the lemon juice and the chopped parsley and return to a simmer. Add the heavy cream and return to a simmer. Reduce heat, add the remaining butter and check the seasoning for salt and pepper.
