1
Prepare the Scallops
Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove the side muscle if still attached.
2
Make the Marinade
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.

3
Marinate the Scallops
Place the scallops in the marinade and toss to coat. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
4
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
5
Grill the Scallops
Once the grill is hot, place the scallops on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and have nice grill marks.

6
Serve
Remove the scallops from the grill and serve immediately. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley if desired.
