Chriss Grilled Scallops On A Stick With Sriracha Dipping Sauce Recipes

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH CHILI DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the sauce: cut the carrot into ¼-inch slices; add to a saucepan with 1 cup water, soy sauce, sriracha, and cumin.
• Bring to a boil; decrease heat to a simmer and cook until the carrots are just tender, about 15 minutes.
• Puree the mixture in a food processor, adding the vinegar, olive oil, and mint as the processor is running.
• The sauce should have the consistency of ketchup; if too thick, add a bit of water; if too thin, simmer a few minutes to reduce it; set aside.
• Wash the scallops and remove the small, tough, side muscle; put scallops in a bowl.
• Add enough olive oil to lightly coat; season with salt and pepper.
• Place the scallops on the grill grate 1-2 inches apart; grill over direct high heat 4-6 minutes until just opaque in the center, turn once halfway through grilling time.
• Remove from grill and serve warm with dipping sauce drizzled on top or serve sauce in small, individual dipping bowls.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH SWEET CHILLI SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the ginger, coriander and garlic in a pestle and mortar, then pound to a paste. Add the oil and mix through. Pour over the scallops and rub in until they are covered with the mixture. Thread each scallop onto a skewer (see Know-how, below). Can be done up to 1 day in advance.
