Instructions

Prepare Onions - Preheat grill. Place onions in the middle of a large sheet of foil and top with soy sauce and butter. Fold all 4 sides over scallions to make a packet.
Grill Onions - Grill onions in foil over high heat for about 10-12 minutes. Lower heat to medium (or raise grate), remove onions from foil, lay crosswise over the fire to cook 5-to-10 minutes more on each side until softened and lightly charred.
To Serve - Transfer onions to a platter and sprinkle with salt and scatter lime wedges around for guests to squeeze, if they want.

Notes

Cebollitas Asadas can also be made in the broiler. Place foil packet 3-inches from the heat and broil for 12 minutes. Open foil and broil another 6-8 minutes until desired char is achieved.
