Grilled Skewered Sea Scallops Recipes

Steps:

• Thread scallops onto skewers. If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for 10 minutes before using.
• In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients and then rub onto scallops.
• TO GRILL: Place on oiled grill over hot coals. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque throughout.
• TO BROIL: Place on broiler pan and broil 4-5 inches from heat source for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque throughout.

Steps:

• Put the mayonnaise, cherry peppers, vinegar, 2 tablespoons parsley, mustard, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, thyme and garlic in a blender. Season with salt and pepper and puree until fairly smooth. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium saute pan over high heat. Add the breadcrumbs and cook until lightly golden brown. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and the lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the grill for high heat direct grilling.
• Skewer 2 or 3 scallops onto 2 skewers so that the scallops lay flat. Brush both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the scallops until well caramelized on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook another 30 seconds or so. Remove to a platter, drizzle with the vinaigrette and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice and salt. Place scallops in a large bowl, and toss with butter mixture. Let stand for about 2 minutes.
• Thread scallops onto skewers, or use a wire grill basket. Cook on preheated grill for about 4 minutes per side.
• Return butter mixture to saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and keep warm while scallops cook. Toss with grilled scallops and serve.

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix first five ingredients to make sauce. Assemble skewers by placing one scallop (or two-three bay scallops) and one piece of scallion on each skewer. (These skewers can be prepped a day ahead and kept chilled in the fridge, then grilled a few hours before party time and kept warm until serving.)
• Brush with ginger soy sauce and cook about two minutes per side or until just opaque. Be careful not to overcook scallops or they'll get a rubbery texture. Continue to brush with sauce throughout cooking.

Steps:

• Whisk lime juice, oil, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne together in small bowl.
• Thread scallops and tomatoes alternately on 4 skewers.
• Place on platter and drizzle with marinade.
• Cover and refrigerate, basting once with marinade, about 30 minutes.
• Prepare charcoal for grilling or heat broiler.
• Grill or broil skewers, basting with marinade but not turning, just until scallops are cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
• Place lime wedge on each skewer and serve.

Steps:

• Place mushrooms in a bowl. Add soy sauce, olive oil, and lemon juice. Stir to coat.
• Place scallops, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and Italian seasoning in a separate bowl. Stir to coat.
• Soak wooden skewers in water while mushrooms and scallops marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Thread mushrooms and scallops onto separate skewers. Grill until mushrooms soften scallops are opaque, about 3 minutes per side. Cook mushrooms for 1 to 2 minutes more if needed. Serve immediately.
