- Serves: 6
- Prep Time: 30 min
- Cook Time: 6 min
Ingredients
-
20
sea scallops, large
-
1/4 cup
olive oil, plus more for grill
-
1 tbsp
honey
-
2 tbsp
lemon juice
-
2
garlic cloves, minced
-
2 tsp
smoked paprika
-
1 tsp
salt
-
4-5
Skewers (if using wooden, presoaked in warm water for 1 hour)
- salt and pepper to taste
Method
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of olive oil, honey, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika and salt. Whisk until honey dissolves. Set aside.
- Place the scallops and the marinade in a large ziplock bag, seal it shut and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water for the hour that the scallops are marinating.
- Heat grill to medium high heat. Cover the grill so the grates get hot.
- Remove the scallops from the refrigerator, slide 4-5 each onto the skewers and season with salt and pepper.
- Using a silicone brush, oil the grill grates with extra oil.
- Place the skewered scallops on the grill at an angle (if you want pretty diagonal grill marks).
- Cook scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side.
