How to Make Greek Style Sea Scallops Brochettes
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
- Season the mixture generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add 1 pound of sea scallops (or 1 pound of peeled large shrimp, tails on) to the bowl and gently toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator).
- Prepare your grill or preheat your broiler to medium-high heat. Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread 3 sea scallops (or shrimp), 3 lemon slices (about 1/4 inch thick), and 2 fresh bay leaves onto each skewer, alternating the ingredients.
- Grill or broil the brochettes for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until the scallops (or shrimp) are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from grill or broiler and let rest for a couple of minutes before transferring to serving plates.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Greek-style sea scallop (or shrimp) brochettes!
