Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Zest and juice of 2 lemons
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano plus 1 small bunch fresh oregano tied with butcher's twine to make a basting brush
Olive oil, for marinade
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
12 U-10 sea scallops, cleaned and patted dried with a paper towel

Steps:

  • Set up your grill for high heat by building coals evenly on the bottom of the grill.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, garlic, chopped oregano and 1/2 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then add the scallops, tossing to coat. Allow to marinate for 10 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove the scallops from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting. Place the scallops on the grill and cook until charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and using the oregano brush, baste with the leftover marinade. Char on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve.

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH TABBOULEH SALSA

Plump scallops, sprinkled with salt and pepper, are lightly grilled and served with a salsa rich in parsley and diced vegetables. The salsa should be made just before eating; otherwise the liquid content of the vegetables will turn the dish watery.
