Greek Scallops Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, pressed garlic cloves and oregano in medium bowl to blend; season with salt and pepper.
• Add sea scallops and toss to coat with oil mixture.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler.
• Alternate 3 scallops, 3 lemon slices and 2 bay leaves on each skewer.
• Grill or broil brochettes until scallops are golden brown and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer to plates and serve.

Steps:

• Set up your grill for high heat by building coals evenly on the bottom of the grill.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, garlic, chopped oregano and 1/2 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then add the scallops, tossing to coat. Allow to marinate for 10 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the scallops from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting. Place the scallops on the grill and cook until charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and using the oregano brush, baste with the leftover marinade. Char on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Grease 4 individual ovenproof serving dishes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Divide the scallops evenly among the dishes and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Core and seed the red and green peppers and cut them into thin strips about 1 1/2 inches long.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy skillet. Add the onions, garlic and peppers. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until wilted. Add the tomatoes, olives, oregano, fennel, wine, pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Spoon the mixture evenly over the scallops. Dot with the cheese and place in the oven. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve immediately.
