Instructions
Place scallops and marinade ingredients in a bowl, mix and leave for an hour or so. They can be left for longer in the fridge.
Just before serving, prepare plates with 1/4th of the lettuce on each plate.
Preheat a griddle and lightly oil it.
Add to the hot griddle pan and cook for 30 seconds to a minute on each side, turning gently with tongs. They should be a little firm to touch and opaque when cut.
