1
Prepare the Scallops
Rinse the jumbo sea scallops under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they grill nicely.
2
Marinate the Scallops
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh lemon juice. Add the scallops to the bowl and gently toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let them marinate for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
4
Grill the Scallops
Once the grill is ready, place the marinated scallops on the grill. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes or until they are opaque and have nice grill marks. Avoid overcooking, as scallops can become rubbery.

5
Plate and Garnish
Remove the scallops from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty flavor.
