Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Make the Marinade

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Scallops

    Pour the marinade over the scallops and gently toss to coat them evenly. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled.

  2. 5

    Grill the Scallops

    Place the marinated scallops on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and have nice grill marks.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Remove the scallops from the grill and serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
