30 minutes

Marinated sea scallops on rosemary skewers grilled are an exquisite dish of European cuisine, combining the freshness of seafood with the aroma of herbs. Scallops soaked in olive oil and rosemary acquire a tender, slightly sweet flavor with subtle woody notes. Grilled, they become soft and juicy, while the smoky aroma of coals enhances the gastronomic pleasure. Historically, sea scallops were considered a delicacy in coastal regions of Europe, where they were prepared with minimal spices to preserve their natural taste. This dish can be served with a light white wine and fresh salad, making it an ideal option for a summer dinner outdoors.
