Grilled scallops are a succulent, slightly sweet seafood delight. The delicate shells can be coated in garlic butter and herb butter, then seasoned with salt or garlic powder. Scallops can be a costly treat, so cooking them at home is a daunting task. Thankfully, scallops are a relatively simple dish to master. These are some great tips for grilling scallops. Mix the ingredients together, then heat the grill.
Make the marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice and garlic with Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. For even cooking, grill the scallops in a wire basket. Toss them every now and again to prevent sticking. Once the scallops are cooked, remove them immediately from the grill. Or, drizzle the lemon herb sauce on them. Serve immediately, or place in the refrigerator.
To make the marinade, marinate the scallops for about an hour, but not longer. You can also skewer the scallops or marinate overnight in a mixture of lemon-herb. Before grilling, oil the scallops. Grill the scallops on a wooden skewer for about two to three minutes, depending on how long the marinade has been in contact with them. You need to flip them often so they cook quickly.
Be sure to remove the catch. The catch is a small muscular in the shell that holds the shell inside the shell. The catch is hard, opaque, and chewy. You can also dry the scallops with a paper towel to ensure a better grilling result. Before grilling, remove any dirt or grit. For a full pound of scallops, you can use the same pan.
Keep the heat at a high temperature to make grilling scallops easy. Scallops can be cooked best at medium-high heat. To make grilling easier, choose a grill with both a medium or high temperature zone. You should ensure that scallops are dried thoroughly before you begin cooking them. To verify their internal temperature, use a meat thermometer. The scallops must reach 145°F, or close. If they haven't reached this temperature, remove them from the grill.
Before grilling scallops, pat them dry and lightly oil the surface. They will not be able to sear on a hot barbecue if they have too much water. You can grill scallops in just a few minutes on each side. If you flip them, it will create a gorgeous grilled scallop. Serve scallops with grilled lemon wedges, lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil.
Season the scallops lightly with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Place the scallops, season side down, on the grill grates. Cook for 4 minutes each side or until the scallops reach an internal temperature between 145 and 150 degrees F. Even if you don't have an indoor grill or grill pan, you can still cook the scallops on it. You should use a medium hot grill or a grill pan.
