Grilled Scallops

Ingredients

• 1 pound medium-sized sea scallops, frozen or fresh
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• Fresh ground black pepper
• Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Thaw the scallops, if frozen. (See above.)
2. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit).
3. Pat the scallops dry with a clean towel or paper towel. Place them in a bowl and mix them with the olive oil, salt, and several grinds of black pepper.
4. Place the scallops directly on the grill grates and grill them 2 to 3 minutes until browned on bottom. Flip and grill for 1 to 2 minutes until just opaque.
