Grilled Scallops With Grilled Pineapple Salsa Recipes

GRILLED SEA SCALLOPS WITH CORN AND PEPPER SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal fire for grilling (or use a ridged stovetop grill pan).
• Make the salsa: Place the tomatillos and jalapeño in a blender or food processor and pulse to make a rough purée. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in corn, bell peppers, onion and lime juice. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let salsa rest for a few minutes, then taste and adjust salt.
• Season sea scallops with salt and pepper on both sides and drizzle with olive oil. Rub with fingers to distribute and coat scallops with seasoning.
• When the grill is medium hot, set the scallops on it in a single layer. Leave for 3 minutes, until well browned. (It's O.K. to lift an edge to peek, but don't try to turn the scallops until they have colored well or they'll stick to the grill.) When they are nicely crisped and browned turn each scallop with tongs and cook for another 3 minutes, until cooked through.
• Transfer scallops to a serving platter and spoon some salsa over them. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs. Pass the salsa at the table.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Spray pineapple pieces with cooking spray.
• Cook pineapple on the grill until lightly browned and caramelized, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove pineapple from grill and cool; chop.
• Mix pineapple, red bell pepper, onion, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, garlic, lime juice, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper together in a bowl; refrigerate until chilled and flavors blend, about 1 hour.

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH FARRO AND PLUM SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the farro as the label directs. Meanwhile, whisk the orange juice, vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl; season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the plums, fennel, shallot and jalapeño and toss well to coat.
• Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates. Toss the scallops with the coriander, orange zest and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill the scallops until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate.
• Fluff the farro with a fork and add it to the plum-fennel mixture. Stir in the mint. Divide the farro salad among plates and top with the scallops.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE AND SCALLOPS TERIYAKI

Steps:

• Soak 6 wooden skewers in water.
• Toss scallops, pineapple, teriyaki sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes together in a bowl and marinate for 1/2 hour to 1 hour.
• When ready to cook, drain skewers.
• Heat the grill to medium.
• Place 2 pineapple chunks and 2 scallops on each skewer.
• Grill, turning as needed, for 6 to 8 minutes or until scallops are just cooked through.

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH TABBOULEH SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Dice the cucumber, tomato, red onion into 1/4-inch (5-mm) cubes.
• 2. Combine the vegetable mixture with all the other ingredients in a small bowl.
• 4 cups (800 ml)
• 1. Extract the scallops from their shells. Remove the beard and the innards and discard. Rinse the scallops in cold water and drain.
• 2. Preheat a grill or broiler to high. Season both sides of the scallops with a little sea salt and black pepper. Grill the scallops on a wire rack until the surfaces are just brown.
• 3. Place the Tabbouleh Salsa on a serving plate and arrange the scallops. Garnish with a cucumber flower.

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH AVOCADO CREAM AND SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium ceramic or glass bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, ½ teaspoons of grated zest, ¼ teaspoons of salt, cumin, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes (if using.)
• Add the scallops and marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour(remember the lime juice can cook the scallops if kept there too long and they may become rubbery.)
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until hot.
• Add the tortilla wedges in batches and cook until golden brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Drain the wedges on paper towels.
• Peel, pit, and coarsely mash the avocados in another medium bowl.
• Stir in the onion, yogurt, and remaining lime juice, zest, and salt.
• When ready to serve, preheat the grill or broiler. In a broiler pan, cook the scallops about 3 inches from the heat until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• To serve, spread 2 teaspoons of avocado cream on each tortilla wedge.
• Top with 1 tablespoons of lettuce and 1 scallop, and finish with about 1 tablespoons of salsa.
• Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH PINEAPPLE, GINGER AND LEMON GRASS SALSA

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the shallot and 1 pinch of salt; cook and stir until the shallot has softened, about 5 minutes. Stir shallot, pineapple, ginger, lemon grass, cilantro, honey, vinegar, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, extra virgin olive oil, and salt to taste, together in a bowl. Set aside.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans, recover, and steam until just tender, 2 to 6 minutes depending on thickness. Immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the green beans are cold, drain well, and set aside.
• Heat the safflower oil in a large skillet over high heat. Thoroughly dry each scallop. Once light wisps of smoke are visible in the safflower oil, carefully place the scallops in the skillet. Sear the scallops until golden brown without moving them, about 1 minute. Flip the scallop and cook until desired doneness, about 90 seconds. Turn of the heat and remove scallops from the skillet. Toss green beans into the still-hot skillet for 1 minute. Serve scallops over green beans and top with pineapple salsa.
