Grilled Scallops and Veggies on a bed of Baby Spinach

To whet your appetite



I hope to get all this right. See, while my husband was busy making me a 5-star meal, I was actually sweating away to "The Bourne Supremacy" doing a long drills session on the trainer. It smelled really good, though.

Last week we got scallops at Henry's, and Justin paired those with yellow squash, zucchini, asparagus, baby spinach, and red onion to make a super savory meal. I think it all took less than an hour, also.

No leftovers, sadly! Except a few slices of squash and zucchini.

Ingredients:

1-2 yellow squash
1-2 zucchini
1 bunch of asparagus
1lbs of scallops
1-1.5 lemons (fresh, but the pre-packaged juice is probably also fine)
Olive oil
1 clove of garlic
Garlic powder
Seafood seasoning (or similar)
Organic no salt seasoning (or similar)





First, slice the squash and zucchini into grillable units



Marinade (I'd say 20-30 minutes is probably fine) the scallops in olive oil with the seafood seasoning, lemon juice, and a bit of garlic powder



Marinade the asparagus with olive oil, organic no salt, and garlic powder, along with a few splashes of lemon juice



Press, or finely chop, your garlic and put in a frying pan on the stove with olive oil to lightly cook the baby spinach and onions in a bit





Grill, for just a few minutes a side, the squash and zucchini



Cook the baby spinach, garlic, and onion medium heat on the stove for probably 10 or so minutes (watch it and remove from heat once done to your preference)



Grill the asparagus, turning to even done-ness



Grill scallops for about 3-4 minutes a side to ensure even cooking



Serve for your loved one!
