👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels; this helps them sear better. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
2. Place the scallops in the marinade, tossing gently to coat, and let them marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature. Thread 3-4 scallops onto each wooden or metal skewer.
3. Preheat a grill or a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, until the scallops are opaque and beautifully caramelized with golden-brown edges.
4. Remove the skewers from the heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
