Begin by patting the scallops dry with a paper towel.
Brush both sides of each scallop with olive oil to help with browning and to prevent sticking.
Season the scallops with salt and ground black pepper.
Place the seasoned scallops on a plate or a tray and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating up, prepare the grill grate. Using a paper towel dipped in oil or a grill brush, lightly coat the grate with oil to prevent the scallops from sticking.
Once the grill is ready and the grate is oiled, carefully place the scallops on the grill. Arrange them in a single layer.
Grill the scallops for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Once grilled to perfection, remove the scallops from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Enjoy!
