With a grill, a few minutes to marinate the scallops, and a few simple ingredients, you can have an elegant and filling keto dinner that is more than the sum of its parts. If you don't have or like asparagus, summer squash cut into batons or sliced thinly lengthwise makes a great substitute.

Grilled Scallops with Asparagus
I am a Nurse, wife, and mom. I have spent over 20 years in Healthcare and always took care of everyone else. Finally, after years of yo-yo dieting and failed New Years' resolutions, and complete desperation, I found something that Finally worked for me. I have been doing this Keto/Low carb lifestyle for over 3 years and have lost over 100lbs. My goal was to bring this lifestyle to my family and we went from couch potatoes to our 1st 5k and have lost over 300 lbs. We still have a long way to reach our goals, but we strive to be better every day. I enjoy helping women bring this Keto/Low carb lifestyle to the family.
