CHARCOAL GRILLED SCALLOPS RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Light large chimney starter filled with hardwood charcoal (6 quarts) and allow to burn until all charcoal is covered with layer of fine gray ash, about 20 minutes. Build single-level fire by spreading coals evenly over bottom of grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill with lid, and let grate heat up, about 5 minutes. Use grill brush to scrape cooking grate clean. Grill is ready when coals are medium-hot. 2. Meanwhile, toss scallops and butter together in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Thread scallops onto doubled skewers (see illustration 2, below) so that flat sides of scallops will directly touch cooking grate. 3. Lightly dip small wad of paper towels in vegetable oil; holding wad with tongs, wipe the cooking grate. Grill scallops, uncovered, turning skewers once until richly caramelized on each side and medium-rare (sides of scallops will be firm and all but middle third of each scallop will be opaque), 5 to 7 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.

GRILLED GARLIC PARMESAN CRUSTED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
• Pour olive oil into a shallow bowl.
• Rinse scallops under cold water, then dip into the olive oil.
• Press scallops into bread crumb mixture. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded scallops onto a plate while breading the rest.
• Place the scallops in the refrigerator to allow the breading to set, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Brush the scallops lightly with more olive oil.
• Grill on the preheated grill until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes.

SCALLOPS ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to high.
• Put scallops in a dish and add salt, pepper, 3 tablespoons olive oil, pepper flakes, mustard and thyme.
• Trim off ends of zucchini and cut it crosswise into 16 slices, each approximately the same size. Add to the scallops in the dish and blend the ingredients.
• Place one piece of zucchini on a skewer and add 2 scallops. Add another piece of zucchini and 2 more scallops. Add a third slice of zucchini, 3 more scallops and a final slice of zucchini. Repeat, using 3 more skewers and the remaining scallops and zucchini.
• Brush the grill of the charcoal broiler with a light coating of oil. Place the skewers on the grill and cook about 1 minute. Turn to the opposite side and cook 1 minute. Cook on the 2 other sides about a minute each. Continue cooking about 2 minutes longer for a total cooking time of about 6 minutes. This cooking time will produce scallops that are medium-well done. Cook the scallops about 2 minutes longer if you wish them well done. Brush with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and serve hot.
