Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Scallops

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the sea scallops and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, place it on the stove over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Scallops

    Remove the scallops from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and have nice grill marks. Be careful not to overcook them.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the scallops from the grill and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
