Grilled scallops are a flavorful and nutritious seafood dish prized for their tender texture and slightly sweet taste. Made by searing fresh scallops over high heat, this dish hails from coastal cuisines worldwide, especially Mediterranean and Asian traditions. Scallops are packed with lean protein, essential vitamins like B12, and minerals such as magnesium and selenium, which support heart and brain health. Low in calories and fat, they also provide omega-3 fatty acids that promote cardiovascular wellness. Typically seasoned with olive oil, garlic, lemon, or fresh herbs, grilled scallops can be a healthy choice when prepared without excessive butter or heavy sauces. However, sodium content may increase if paired with salty marinades or dressings. Their quick cooking method ensures nutrients are retained, making grilled scallops not only delicious but an excellent option for a balanced diet.
