Perfectly Grilled Scallops on the BBQ
Simple, quick, and elegant
Scallops are a true delicacy and lend themselves beautifully to a short, intense cook on the BBQ. By searing them briefly, you get that wonderful caramelized crust while keeping the inside soft and juicy.
Ingredients
- 6 fresh scallops
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp finely chopped parsley
- 2 chunks hickory or apple wood (optional)
- Kamado charcoal
Preparation
- Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel
- Lightly brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Cooking
- Light your kamado and stabilize the temperature at 220ā250Ā°C (430ā480Ā°F).
- Place a cast-iron grate or plancha on the grill and let it get really hot.
- Grill the scallops for 1ā2 minutes per side, until they develop a golden-brown crust.
- Just before finishing, add the butter and garlic to the grill and lightly baste the scallops.
