Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 350-400°F or 175-200°C).
  2. Thread the scallops onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring they're secure and evenly spaced. This makes grilling and flipping easier.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful garlic butter sauce.
  4. Brush the grill grates with a bit of oil to prevent sticking. Place the scallop skewers on the grill at an angle to get those picturesque grill marks. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the scallops are opaque and have grill marks. Baste the scallops with the garlic butter sauce as they cook, using a brush or spoon.
  5. After 2-3 minutes, baste the top side of the scallops with more garlic butter sauce and carefully flip them using tongs. Grill for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, basting again halfway through.
  6. Once the scallops are cooked through and have a nice char, remove them from the grill. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter sauce over the top. Serve immediately, either on the skewers or removed from the skewers onto a plate.

 

This grilled garlic butter scallop recipe is a fantastic way to celebrate the rich flavor of scallops while infusing them with the smokiness of the grill and the savory goodness of garlic butter. Enjoy the elegant simplicity of this dish at your next outdoor gathering or special dinner occasion.
