Recipe – Grilled Scallop Skewers
Ingredients
| 20 large scallops, cleaned |
| 1 bunch flatleaf parsley |
| 2 lemons |
| 2 cloves garlic |
| 1 tsp salt |
| 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper |
| 1/4 cup Mount Zero Lemon Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil |
Directions
Step 1 – Remove the scallops from the fridge and place in a single layer on paper towel. Allow to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 2 – Add 2/3 of the parsley, the zest and juice of one lemon, the garlic, salt and pepper to a food processor and blitz until combined. With the motor running, add the olive oil in a thin stream and blend until the sauce emulsifies.
Step 3 – Heat the BBQ to high (200 – 220°C) and prepare for direct grilling, ensuring the grills are clean.
Step 4 – Thread the scallops onto skewers and brush each scallop liberally with the parsley sauce.
Step 5 – Place the skewers onto the grill and cook for around 2 minutes each side, or until the scallops are firm and opaque.
Step 6 – Remove the skewers from the BBQ, drizzle the remaining parsley sauce over the scallops and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
