Tips:
- Choose high-quality scallops. Fresh, dry scallops are essential for this recipe. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly briny smell.
- Sear the scallops over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the scallops while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the scallops will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Overcooking the scallops will make them tough.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Grilled scallops are best enjoyed fresh off the grill.
Conclusion:
Grilled sea scallops are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. They are easy to make and can be cooked in just a few minutes. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
