Description

Juicy, golden-brown scallops grilled in minutes for an elegant yet simple seafood dinner.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 lb large scallops, patted dry
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt & pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat to ensure it’s hot enough to sear the scallops properly.
  2. Season Scallops: Toss the scallops gently with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, ensuring each scallop is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  3. Grill Scallops: Place the scallops on the grill, avoiding overcrowding. Grill each side for 2 to 3 minutes until the scallops are opaque and have developed a golden-brown sear.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan or grill to ensure a perfect sear on each scallop.
  • Pat scallops dry before seasoning to get a better crust while grilling.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
