If scallops are frozen, partially defrost according to package directions.
In a deep, 1 1/2-quart, heat-resistant, non-metallic casserole place the 1 tablespoon butter or margarine and onion. Heat, uncovered, in microwave oven 1 minute or until onion is tender. Add scallops, lemon juice, salt, marjoram, paprika and wine. Stir to combine.
Heat, covered, in microwave oven 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and heat, covered, in microwave oven 1 minute or until scallops are tender. Do not overcook scallops as they will become tough. Drain liquid and reserve. Set scallops and liquid aside.
