Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Sea scallops
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, melt the butter over low heat or microwave. Zest the lemon into the butter, then cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of half the lemon into the mixture.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill, and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the butter mixture, stirring well to combine. Set aside for later use.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and brush this mixture over the scallops to coat them evenly.
Place the scallops on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes until they are opaque and have a nice char mark.
Once the scallops are cooked, remove them from the grill and immediately drizzle with the prepared lemon herb butter.
Serve the scallops warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired, and the remaining lemon half cut into wedges for an extra citrus touch.
