Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over moderate-high heat. Add scallops and cook until slightly firm to touch while remaining milky white.
Remove scallops from skillet.
Saute mushrooms in 1-2 tablespoons butter in same skillet. Add ginger and water chestnuts. Reduce liquid by half. Add juice of 1 lemon or to taste.
Remove from heat and quickly stir in 3-4 tablespoons chilled butter. (This will allow the sauce to thicken.) Return scallops to skillet and heat thoroughly.
