- Start by combining ¼ cup of olive oil, honey, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, and salt in a small bowl.
- Whisk it until the honey is completely dissolved, then set it aside.
- Go on and place the scallops and marinate them in a large zipper bag, then proceed to refrigerate for 1 hour after that.
- If you use wooden skewers, soak them in warm water while the scallops marinate for an hour.
- It would help if you preheated the grill to medium-high. Cover the grill to allow the grates to heat up.
- Remove the scallops from the refrigerator and thread 4-5 on each skewer, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Apply more oil to the grill grates with a silicone brush.
- Skewer the scallops and place them on the grill at an angle (if you want pretty diagonal grill marks).
- Scallops should be cooked for 2-3 minutes on each side.
