A delightful seafood dish featuring tender scallops marinated in a zesty citrus blend, grilled to perfection, and served with a refreshing fruit garnish.
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Drying the scallops ensures they sear properly and develop a nice crust.
In a bowl, mix the white wine, juice of the lemon, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
Add the scallops to the marinade, cover, and let them marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Do not marinate for too long as the acid can start to cook the scallops.
Thread the scallops onto skewers, leaving some space between each scallop.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water beforehand to prevent burning.
Grill the scallops over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently and brushing with the reserved marinade.
Ensure the scallops are opaque and slightly firm to the touch when done.
Serve the grilled scallops with sliced kiwi on the side.
Arrange the kiwi slices decoratively for an appealing presentation.
