• Mix together salt, garlic, oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl. 
• Brush both sides of scallops with this marinade.
• Divide scallops evenly between skewers.
• Lightly oil the grill rack and turn on grill to preheat to medium-high.

• Remove and serve immediately on top of a green salad, or with dipping sauce.
