Grilled Garlic Parmesan Crusted Scallops

½ cup fine Italian bread crumbs

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon dried parsley

½ teaspoon garlic salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ cup olive oil

16 large sea scallops

Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.

Pour olive oil into a shallow bowl.

Rinse scallops under cold water, then dip into the olive oil.

Press scallops into bread crumb mixture. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven t stuck can fall away. Place the breaded scallops onto a plate while breading the rest.

Place the scallops in the refrigerator to allow the breading to set, 20 to 30 minutes.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Brush the scallops lightly with more olive oil.

Grill on the preheated grill until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes.
