Parmesan Crusted Grilled Scallops
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup fine Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 16 large sea scallops
Instructions
1
Combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic salt, and black pepper in a bowl for a delicious breading mixture.
2
Prepare the olive oil by pouring it into a shallow dish, perfect for coating your scallops evenly.
3
Rinse the scallops under cold running water to remove any impurities, then submerge them in the olive oil for a rich flavor infusion.
4
Gently press the scallops into the bread crumb mixture, ensuring they're fully coated. Use your hands to gently toss and shake off any excess bread crumbs that may not have adhered, allowing only the perfectly breaded scallops to remain.
5
Arrange the breaded scallops on a plate, leaving space for the next batch. Repeat the breading process to coat all of the scallops.
6
Place the breaded scallops in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to allow the breading to set and hold its shape.
7
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat, making sure the grate is lightly oiled for smooth cooking.
8
Brush the scallops with a light layer of olive oil to enhance their flavor and texture.
9
Grill the scallops on the preheated grill for approximately 5 minutes, or until they're golden brown on both sides and cooked to perfection.
