Scallops require precise grilling to achieve a golden crust and juicy center. These techniques will elevate your grilling game.
Choosing the Right Scallops
Opt for dry-packed scallops as they sear better without excess moisture.
Fresh, firm scallops are essential for a texture that holds well on the grill.
Preparing for Grill Time
Pat scallops dry and season simply with salt and pepper.
Preheat the grill to high to ensure a quick and even sear.
Grilling and Timing Tips
Place scallops on the grill and cook without moving for about 2 minutes per side.
Avoid overcooking, as scallops become rubbery if grilled too long.
Serving Suggestions
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and a drizzle of herb-infused olive oil.
Pair with light salads or grilled vegetables to keep the meal fresh and balanced.
