A delightful Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring succulent scallops paired with vibrant flavors.
Combine the olive oil, minced garlic, and oregano in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Let the marinade sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the scallops to the marinade and toss gently to coat evenly.
Ensure the scallops are well coated for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
Thread the scallops, lemon slices, and bay leaves alternately onto the skewers.
Leave a little space between each item on the skewer for even cooking.
Grill or broil the skewers for about 4 minutes per side, until the scallops are golden and cooked through.
Avoid overcooking the scallops to keep them tender and juicy.
Serve the skewers hot with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor.
