Ingredients

• 16 large pieces Sea scallops
• 1 medium, diced into 1-inch pieces Red bell pepper
• 1 medium, sliced into thick rounds Zucchini
• 1 medium, cut into wedges Red onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove the small side muscle if still attached.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the scallops, diced red bell pepper, zucchini rounds, and red onion wedges. Pour the marinade over the ingredients and gently toss to coat. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the grill or broiler to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated scallops and vegetables onto skewers, alternating between scallops and different vegetable pieces for a colorful presentation.

Step 7

Place skewers on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the scallops are opaque and vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
