Grilled Sea Scallops Recipe

Recipe:

Step 1: Preheat a charcoal or gas grill.

Step 2: Put the lemon juice with 1 tsp salt in a small bowl. With a small whisk or a fork, mix thoroughly until the salt has dissolved. Chop enough parsley leaves to measure about 2 tbsp and enough thyme leaves to measure about 2 tsp. Add the parsley and thyme to the bowl. Add 4 tbsp of the olive oil and whisk until emulsified.

Step 3: Put the remaining olive oil in a separate bowl. Add the scallops, season with salt and pepper, and toss until coated with the oil. Add the breadcrumbs and toss again. Thread the scallops onto two parallel skewers (this prevents them from spinning around).

Step 4: Place the skewers on the grill and cook until firm and cooked through, 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on how large the scallops are. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the parsley-thyme sauce on the side.
