These grilled scallops with lemony salsa verde offer a sophisticated yet simple way to enjoy fresh seafood. The high heat of the grill creates a delicate char that beautifully contrasts with the naturally sweet, tender meat of the scallops. Finished with a vibrant, herb-flecked salsa verde, the dish is lifted by a bright citrus acidity that cuts through the richness of the shellfish perfectly.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe is naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in lean protein, making it an excellent choice for a light lunch or an elegant starter. The use of heart-healthy oils and fresh herbs ensures the dish is packed with flavour without the need for heavy sauces. Serve these on their own or alongside a crisp green salad for a balanced and nourishing meal.
