GRILLED SEA SCALLOPS WITH CORN AND PEPPER SALSA
These summery grilled scallops are served with a kicky corn salsa, made bright green with puréed raw tomatillos, punched up with jalapeño and lime. Look for dry-packed or diver scallops, which means they are quite fresh (and haven't been dipped in a solution of sodium bisulphite, a commonly used preservative). Large scallops, about 2 ounces each, are ideal for grilling or pan-searing. Serve with small boiled potatoes.

Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal fire for grilling (or use a ridged stovetop grill pan).
- Make the salsa: Place the tomatillos and jalapeño in a blender or food processor and pulse to make a rough purée. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in corn, bell peppers, onion and lime juice. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let salsa rest for a few minutes, then taste and adjust salt.
- Season sea scallops with salt and pepper on both sides and drizzle with olive oil. Rub with fingers to distribute and coat scallops with seasoning.
- When the grill is medium hot, set the scallops on it in a single layer. Leave for 3 minutes, until well browned. (It's O.K. to lift an edge to peek, but don't try to turn the scallops until they have colored well or they'll stick to the grill.) When they are nicely crisped and browned turn each scallop with tongs and cook for another 3 minutes, until cooked through.
- Transfer scallops to a serving platter and spoon some salsa over them. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs. Pass the salsa at the table.

SAUTéED SCALLOPS WITH CRUSHED PEPPERCORNS
Sweet, meaty sea scallops are best in winter. Buy "dry-packed" fresh scallops - anything else has been doused in preservatives. This quick-cooking dish gets a boost from three types of peppercorns: green and black (both true pepper), and rose (not really pepper - they are the fruit of a different plant - but peppery nonetheless, and pretty, too). Crush the peppercorns in a mortar or grind very coarsely in a spice mill.

Steps:
- Place scallops on baking sheet or large plate and season lightly on both sides with salt. Mix together crushed black, green and rose peppercorns and sprinkle liberally over scallops on both sides.
- Put oil in a skillet large enough to hold all scallops without crowding (or use two skillets or work in batches) over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add scallops in one layer.
- Let scallops brown on one side, about 3 to 4 minutes. (Don't rush or they will stick to pan and won't brown properly.) Add butter and sherry, turn scallops and sear until cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Remove scallops to a serving platter and keep warm.
- Finish the sauce: Leaving skillet over medium-high heat, add crème fraîche. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2 minutes, then taste for salt.
- Spoon sauce over scallops and sprinkle with lime zest, lemon zest and mint. Garnish with a few whole rose peppercorns.

I love scallops and got this recipe from the local grocery store, Dierbergs. I haven't tried it yet, but think it sounds great over rice.

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH PEACHES, CORN AND TOMATOES
The easiest hot-weather supper, this salad benefits from peak-summer ingredients, which need very little prep. You can throw the corn cobs and halved peaches directly on the grill, but if your scallops are small enough to fall through the grates, you should skewer them onto metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water. The only thing worse than losing a sweet, meaty scallop into the fire would be overcooking it, so be sure to remove the scallops from the grill before they're fully opaque.

Steps:
- Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Brush the grill grate with a little oil and put it 3 or 4 inches from the heat.
- Brush the corn and peaches with the oil, season with salt and pepper and grill until lightly browned all over. Strip the corn kernels off the cobs and chop the peaches; transfer to a large bowl.
- Brush the scallops with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill until they're brown and release easily from the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Take the scallops off the grill before the interior becomes totally opaque.
- Halve the scallops and add them to the bowl along with the tomatoes and herbs. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.

SIMPLE SEA SCALLOPS PERSILLADE
Sea scallops are available all year, but are abundant and quite welcome in winter. Like all shellfish, they are best when they are ultra-fresh. If you can get them like that, just let the freshness shine. These simple scallops are nearly naked, adorned with nothing more than butter, garlic and parsley. The idea is to accentuate, not mask, that straight-from-the-sea feeling.

Steps:
- Rinse scallops to rid them of any sand. With a paring knife, remove the small hard "foot" from the edge of each scallop. Blot scallops dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Put olive oil in wide cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. When oil is hot and nearly smoking, place scallops in pan in one layer. Leave scallops until well browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes, then turn and cook for 1 minute on other side. Remove scallops to a plate, browned side up.
- Wipe pan clean with paper towels and return to stove. Turn down heat slightly. Add butter and swirl pan to melt. Add garlic and let it bloom - that is, cook without browning for 30 seconds. Return scallops to pan, browned side up, and gently heat through. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons parsley and turn off heat. Put 2 scallops per person in scallop shells or small shallow bowls.
- Tilt pan and spoon butter sauce evenly over each serving. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

MISO-GLAZED GRILLED SCALLOPS
This simple and sophisticated treatment is perfect for grilled scallops, but also works well on chicken or pork. One note on preparation: Err on the side of undercooking. Take the scallops off the grill before they're opaque all the way through. If you undercook a scallop, it will still be delicious, but if you overcook it, it will get rubbery.

Steps:
- Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Brush the grill with a little oil and position the grill grate 3 to 4 inches from the heat.
- Whisk together the miso and mirin or sake; season to taste with pepper.
- Thread the scallops through their equators onto metal or soaked wooden skewers and brush them all over with vegetable oil. Grill scallops until they're browned and release easily from the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- When they're almost done, brush on both sides with the miso mixture, and continue to cook, turning once or twice, until the glaze caramelizes a bit and the scallops are done. Take the scallops off the grill before the interior becomes totally opaque.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions and serve immediately.
