Add rock salt to taste. Place scallops onto a medium hot plate or pan fry. Cook a few at a time as they cook quickly. Turn the scallops carefully. Place scallops back in the shell, top with sauce ingredients and place under grill for 2-3 minutes. Spoon over a little more sauce, cook further and serve when all are done to your liking.
