Grilled Hokkaido Japanese Scallops with Vegetables

Grilled Hokkaido Japanese Scallops with Vegetables

This Scallop recipe is a perfect summer meal that is light, fresh, and full of flavor. The juicy and sweet tomatoes, tender zucchini, and fragrant basil create a delicious bed for the succulent and slightly sweet Hokkaido Japanese scallops.

When grilling the scallops, be sure to use skewers to prevent them from falling through the grates. You can also grill the vegetables alongside the scallops for a complete meal cooked entirely on the grill.

This dish can be enjoyed as a main course or as an appetizer. Serve it with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal, or pair it with a light white wine to enhance the flavors of the seafood and vegetables.
