How to Make Grilled Sea Scallops
- Soak bamboo skewers in water for 10 minutes (skip this step if using metal skewers).
- Thread scallops onto skewers, leaving a little space between each for even cooking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Generously brush the mixture onto both sides of the scallops.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Place skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the scallops are opaque and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Alternatively, broil scallops on a broiler pan 4-5 inches from the heat source for 2-3 minutes per side, until opaque and cooked through.
- Serve immediately over your favorite rice, quinoa, or salad.
