1 pound sea scallops (thawed if frozen)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (or lime juice)
1 clove garlic (minced )
salt and black pepper (to taste )
lemon wedges (and parsley for garnish, optional)

Steps

Dab scallops dry with a paper towel.
Combine olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice (and any additions below if using). Toss with scallops and let rest a few minutes while grill preheats.
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Once the grill is heated, oil the grates by adding oil to a paper towel and using tongs to rub the oil on the grates.
Remove scallops from the marinade (discard marinade) and season scallops with salt & pepper. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side or just until opaque.
Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
