Grilled Scallops
Grilled Scallops are perfectly grilled and topped with a lemon herb dressing. If you're a fan of scallops, you'll fall head over shells for these guys.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound jumbo sea scallops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- avocado oil for brushing on grill grates
Lemon Herb Dressing
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon freshly minced parsley
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- zest and juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to Medium-High heat (around 450 degrees F).
- Remove the scallops from their packaging and place them on a baking sheet lined with a paper towel. Pat the top of each scallop dry with another paper towel.
- Combine all ingredients for the lemon herb dressing in a bowl until well mixed and set aside.
- Season the scallops with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper on one side. Brush the top of the grill grates with a paper towel soaked in avocado oil. Immediately placed the scallops seasoned side down on the grill grates.
- Close the lid, and grill the scallops for 4 minutes. Open the lid, flip the scallops (I recommend using a thin fish spatula instead of tongs), and cook for an additional 2 minutes with the lid closed.
- Remove from the grill when the scallops reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Remove your scallops to a serving plate, drizzle with the lemon herb dressing, and serve with additional lemon wedges.
