Description

Succulent scallops are coated with Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs before being grilled to a perfect golden brown.

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

Directions

1 Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
2 Pour olive oil into a shallow bowl.
3 Rinse scallops under cold water, then dip into the olive oil.
4 Press scallops into bread crumb mixture. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded scallops onto a plate while breading the rest.
5 Place the scallops in the refrigerator to allow the breading to set, 20 to 30 minutes.
6 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
7 Brush the scallops lightly with more olive oil.
8 Grill on the preheated grill until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes.
