A delightful recipe for grilled scallops enhanced with a citrus herb marinade, perfect for a light and flavorful meal.
Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat level.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh thyme, and freshly ground black pepper.
Let the marinade sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and season them with sea salt.
Drying the scallops helps achieve a better sear on the grill.
Toss the scallops in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Marinate for at least 10 minutes but no longer than 30 minutes to avoid over-marinating.
Place the scallops on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and have grill marks.
Do not overcrowd the grill to ensure even cooking.
Serve the grilled scallops immediately, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.
Pair with a light salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
