Delicately grilled scallops with a smoky char, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 large large sea scallops
- 1 lime, halved
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sumac
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
- Oil, for grill and drizzling
- Fresh lime zest, for serving
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat your grill to medium-high.
- Pat the scallops dry and thread 3 scallops onto 2 parallel skewers. Continue with the remaining scallops and additional skewers.
- Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
- Season the scallops with ground sumac, coriander, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Grilling
- Grill the scallops until they are opaque throughout, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- For extra flavor, grill lime halves with their cut sides down until charred, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer the grilled scallops to a platter, grate fresh lime zest on top, and drizzle with oil. Serve alongside the charred lime.
Notes
Make sure to pat the scallops dry before grilling to achieve a good sear. If you don't have skewers, grill them directly on the grill or use a grill basket.
