Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Sea scallops
- 8 ounces Baby bella mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 medium-sized Garlic cloves
- 1 Lemon
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).
Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove the side muscle if still attached.
Clean the baby bella mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into thick pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves and zest the lemon. Cut the lemon into wedges for serving.
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well.
Add the scallops and mushrooms to the bowl, tossing gently to coat them evenly in the olive oil mixture.
Lay out 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long. Divide the scallops and mushrooms evenly among the sheets, creating a small pile in the center of each.
Place 1 sprig of fresh thyme on top of each pile. Fold the foil over the scallops and mushrooms, crimping the edges tightly to form sealed packets.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the scallops are opaque and cooked through.
Carefully remove the packets from the grill. Let them rest for 1 to 2 minutes before unsealing, as the steam inside will be very hot.
Serve the grilled scallops and mushrooms directly from the foil packets or transfer them to plates. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges.
