Skewers

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Skewers

    Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

  2. 2

    Cut the Vegetables

    Chop the bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Scallops

    Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, ensuring they sear well on the grill.

Marinade

  1. 4

    Make Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

  2. 5

    Marinate the Ingredients

    Add the scallops and chopped vegetables to the marinade. Stir gently to coat all ingredients and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 6

    Assemble the Skewers

    Thread the marinated scallops and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between scallops and vegetables.

  2. 7

    Grill the Skewers

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the scallops are opaque and lightly charred.

  3. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove from the grill and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot.
