Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation of Scallops

    Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Scallops

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the scallops to the bowl and gently toss to coat. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grilling Method

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the scallops on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are opaque and have grill marks.

  4. 4

    Frying Method

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Place the marinated scallops in the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serving

    Remove the scallops from the heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
