• Combine the lemon juice, orange juice, honey, garlic and olive oil into a bowl and stir.
• Pour the marinade into a Ziploc bag and add the scallops.
• Make sure the scallops are fully coated and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about one hour.

• Remove the scallops from the marinade and add four to five scallops on a flat metal skewer, leaving a little space in between to make sure there is air flow. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper.
• Brush the grill with a little olive oil so the scallops don't burn and will release easily.
• Lay the skewered scallops on the grill and cook each side for about 2-3 minutes. Don't overcook the scallops. You won't need more than a total of six to seven minutes. Look for the meat to turn an opaque white.
• Remove and serve!
