Grilled scallops and vegetables with cilantro sauce is a delightful dish that combines the delicate flavors of the sea and the vibrant freshness of vegetables. This dish is perfect for a summer cookout or a special occasion dinner. The scallops are grilled to perfection, giving them a slightly caramelized exterior and a tender, juicy interior. The vegetables are roasted until they are tender and slightly charred, adding a smoky flavor to the dish. The cilantro sauce is a perfect complement to the scallops and vegetables, with its bright, herbaceous flavor.

Steps:
- In a small heavy saucepan simmer the onion, the vinegar, the water, and the ground coriander until the liquid is reduced to about 1 tablespoon and whisk in the butter, 1 piece at a time, lifting the pan from the heat occasionally to let the mixture cool adding each new piece of butter before the previous one has melted completely. (The sauce should not get hot enough to liquefy. It should be the consistency of thin hollandaise.) Season the sauce with salt and pepper, transfer it to a bowl set in a larger bowl of warm water, and keep it warm.
- Brush the scallops with the oil, heat a ridged grill pan over high heat until it is hot and just begins to smoke, and in it grill the scallops, for 5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through. Whisk the fresh coriander into the butter sauce, spoon the sauce onto 2 plates, and arrange the scallops on it.

GRILLED CILANTRO-LIME SCALLOPS WITH ZUCCHINI AND COUSCOUS
Aleppo pepper, also known as a Halaby pepper, is named after a city in northern Syria that is famous for its chiles. These pepper flakes have a mild, almost tangy flavor and are about half as spicy as most chile flakes. Combined with lime, cilantro and garlic, the Aleppo pepper really shines slathered over scallops and zucchini before they are grilled. The bright, herby, tangy sauce for this recipe acts as a marinade for the scallops and vegetables, a dressing for the couscous and a finishing sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the couscous and cook, stirring a few times, until starting to turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the couscous is softened, and the liquid has been absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the cilantro, lime juice, garlic, Aleppo pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the remaining 2/3 cup olive oil to a food processor and process until smooth and vibrant green. Reserve 1/3 cup and pour the rest into a large bowl.
- Add the zucchini and the yellow squash to the bowl and toss to coat with the sauce. Thread 7 to 8 pieces, alternating between zucchini and yellow squash, onto each of 4 skewers, threading them so the slices will lay flat on the grill. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the scallops to the bowl and toss with the marinade. Set aside while you grill the vegetables.
- Grill the vegetables until grill marks appear on the underside and the vegetables begin to soften, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip and grill until the vegetables are cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes longer.
- Meanwhile, thread 4 scallops each onto 4 skewers so that the scallops lay flat. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Grill until caramelized on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the scallops are just firm to touch and opaque in the center, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir 3 tablespoons of the reserved cilantro-lime sauce into the couscous and spoon the couscous onto a platter. Place the vegetable and scallop skewers on top and garnish with lime zest and Aleppo pepper. Serve with the remaining cilantro-lime sauce on the side.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
- Soak the scallops in milk for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the scallops and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Sear the scallops over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side. This will create a nice caramelized crust on the outside while keeping the inside of the scallops tender and juicy.
- Do not overcook the scallops. Overcooked scallops will become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque in the center.
- Serve the scallops immediately with your favorite sides. Grilled scallops are delicious served with grilled vegetables, rice, or pasta.
Conclusion:
Grilled scallops are a delicious and healthy seafood option that can be enjoyed as a main course or appetizer. They are quick and easy to cook, and they can be paired with a variety of sides. With their delicate flavor and tender texture, grilled scallops are sure to please everyone at your table.
