Let's Cook!
Step 1
Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, sea salt flakes, and freshly ground black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Brush each scallop with the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 4
Place a sprig of thyme and a small piece of rosemary on top of each scallop.
Step 5
Arrange the scallops on the grill, herb side up, and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until they are just opaque and have a slight char.
Step 6
Carefully remove the scallops from the grill, ensuring the herbs remain on top for presentation.
Step 7
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over.
