Directions

  1. Heat your grill to medium-high/high.
  2. For the salad: In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon and olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add in the arugula, peas, pea shoots, snow peas, and/or sugar snap peas, radishes, mint and parsley and set aside without tossing.
  3. For the scallops: Melt the butter over low heat or in the microwave and set aside to cool. Stir in the garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and parsley and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the scallops in a bowl and drizzle about half of the butter mixture over top and toss to coat.
  5. Place the scallops onto the grill and cook uncovered for 6 to 7 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook for another minute until just cooked through, basting with more butter frequently.
  6. Just before serving, toss the salad and serve alongside the grilled scallops.
