Step 1.
Pat the scallops extremely dry. Season lightly with salt immediately before grilling. Place over high heat and leave undisturbed until browned, approximately 60–90 seconds. Turn and cook the other side. They should remain tender inside. Finish with just a squeeze of lemon. Two scallops each. Don't bury good scallops in sauce—the charcoal is the seasoning.
