Grilled Hotate (Scallop) Skewers are a simple yet delicious way to enjoy the natural sweetness of scallops. To make these skewers, you will need fresh scallops, bamboo skewers, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Start by soaking the bamboo skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. Meanwhile, prepare the scallops by rinsing them and patting them dry. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a marinade. Thread the scallops onto the soaked skewers and brush them with the marinade. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the skewers for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the scallops are opaque and slightly charred. Serve the Grilled Hotate (Scallop) Skewers as an appetizer or a main course. The smoky flavor from the grill, combined with the tender and succulent scallops, creates a mouthwatering dish that is sure to impress.
