Steps

Heat the grill to medium-high, about 400°F.
Tear 2 sheets of heavy-duty foil about 18 inches long. Divide the corn, potatoes, onion and garlic between them. Dot with half the butter and sprinkle with half the Old Bay.
Fold the foil into packets and crimp the edges tight. Grill 10 minutes, until the onion is soft and everything is hot.
Open the packets carefully, away from your face, since steam rushes out. Add the scallops, the rest of the butter and the rest of the Old Bay. Seal them again.
Grill 3 to 4 minutes more, until the scallops are opaque all the way through. Open one packet and cut a scallop in half to check.
Squeeze lemon over the top and eat straight from the foil.
