How to Make Grilled Scallops with Chunky Salsa Verde
This is a great seafood dish low in fat and sodium, but is packed with protein. Try pairing it with a simple arugula salad topped with a few pieces of strawberries to balance out the spicy kick of the salsa verde.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Prepare an indoor or outdoor grill.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the tomatillo, jalapeno, cilantro, zucchini, lime juice, Stevia and garlic. Mix together and set aside.
- Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel. Toss them with the olive oil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Place scallops on grill, flat side down. Turning occasionally, grill until lightly charred and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Serve scallops topped with the chunky salsa verde.
