Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
4 to 5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 to 3 lemons)
1 tablespoon anise-flavored liqueur (optional)
24 sea scallops (about 1 1/4 pounds), tough muscles removed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 bulb fennel, trimmed, reserving fronds for pasta sauce

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high. In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil with the lemon juice and liqueur, if using. Add scallops, and toss to coat. Slide scallops horizontally onto small skewers (about 6 on each). Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place skewers on grill. Grill, rotating, until scallops are golden outside and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from grill.
  • Cut fennel bulb in half lengthwise, and slice lengthwise again into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Toss with remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil, and grill, turning, until fennel just wilts and starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove scallops from skewers. Serve warm.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try grilling the scallops without the olive oil next time.

The scallops were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the fennel was excellent. I'll try cooking the scallops for a shorter time next time.

This was my first time grilling scallops and they turned out great! The recipe was easy to follow and the scallops were cooked perfectly. I served them with a simple lemon butter sauce and they were delicious.
