Grilled Scallops with Fresh Corn and Tomato Relish

From the recipe box Marissa’s recipes by Marissa Lippert

Serves

Ingredients

	1	ear fresh corn, shucked
	2	medium vine-ripened tomatoes, diced
	2	Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
	~	Juice of 1 lemon
	1	garlic clove, minced
	½	cup fresh basil leaves, plus extra leaves for garnish
	~	Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
	8	oz. wild or local scallops

Steps

Prepare the grill.
Cook the ear of corn in boiling water, about 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the corn to cool and cut the kernels off the cob. Place in a bowl with the diced tomatoes.
In a food processor or blender, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and basil, and blend until smooth. Pour ¾ of the mixture into the corn-and-tomato mixture and season with salt and pepper.
Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Grill the scallops 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
Divide the corn-tomato mixture between 2 plates and place the scallops on top. Drizzle the plates with remaining basil oil and sprinkle extra basil pieces (torn into small pieces or cut into a chiffonade) on top.
Serve with grilled zucchini, asparagus, potatoes, or other summertime vegetables.
