Grilled scallops are simply seasoned with a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, grilled to a juicy perfection, and finished with melted herb butter.
About 30-60 minutes before cooking, submerge the wooden skewers fully in water and let them soak.
Prepare the grill for grilling at high temperature, and make sure to clean the grill grate before adding food on it.
Prepare Scallops:
Pat scallops dry with a paper towel and rub them all in some oil.
Season them all over with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and skewer them 4-5 per skewer.
Grilling Scallops:
NOTE: you may need to use grill gloves or metal tongs to flip the scallop skewers and take them off the grill!
Grill scallops over direct heat for about 2 minutes per side. (Depending on the size and distance from the fire/charcoal, it may take a few seconds more or less.)
You can prepare the finishing butter right on the grill if you have a small, grill-safe sauce pot. Or you can melt butter in a microwave and then stir in pressed garlic and minced herbs.
Once scallops are done, simply take them off the grill, plate them, and brush them liberally with butter mixture and serve!
