Notes
- Optional Marinade Additions (choose 1)
- ¼
- ¼
- ¼ teaspoon lemon zest (for a stronger lemon flavor)
- If your scallops are on the smaller side, thread them on a skewer to keep them from slipping into the grates. If using wood skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes first so they don't burn on the grill.
- To reheat, saute in a pan over medium heat with a little olive oil until heated through.
- ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
- ¼ teaspoon lemon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon lemon zest (for a stronger lemon flavor)
- 1 teaspoon each fresh chopped basil and parsley
