Glazed Grilled Sea Scallops
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Dry Sea Scallops
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp fresh basil leaves chopped
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp lemon jucie
- wooden skewers
Glaze:
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine olive oil, basil, salt, pepper, honey, and lemon juice.
- Place scallops in large resealable bag or bowl and add the basil mixture. Toss to coat and marinate in refrigerator for up to 45 minutes.
- Pre-heat grill & grease racks. (You may wish to use a sheet of aluminum foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray to really prevent sticking.)
- Remove scallops from marinade & thread on skewers. Discard marinade.
- Mix together glaze ingredients and set aside.
- Grill scallops until just opaque in center, about 4-6 minutes total. Flip scallops once during cooking. Brush with glaze during last 1-2 minutes of cooking.
- Scallops will continue to cook once removed from grill, so be careful not to overcook. Remove from grill & enjoy!
