Grilledscallopsandmushroomsinfoilpackets Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
• Fold an 18-inch wide piece of aluminum foil so it is square.
• Place onions, mushrooms, and garlic in the middle of the foil. Arrange butter pieces on top of vegetables and drizzle with steak seasoning. Bring 4 corners of the foil together in the center, and crimp any open spaces to seal packet.
• Place the foil packet on the preheated grill and cook until vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from grill, open packet carefully, and serve.

Steps:

• Cut four 12-by-12-inch squares of heavy aluminum foil, or eight squares of regular aluminum foil (stack two sheets each of the lighter foil to make four squares).
• In a large bowl, combine the mushrooms, herbs, garlic, salt and pepper, and olive oil. Use a large spoon to blend the ingredients.
• Brush the dull side of the aluminum squares with olive oil, and divide the mushrooms among the four squares. Fold the squares over and crimp the edges together to form well-sealed packets. Place on a hot grill, and grill 20 to 25 minutes. Remove one packet from the grill, and place on a plate. Carefully open it to check for doneness. The mushrooms should be tender and juicy. Either transfer to plates or bowls (there will be lots of juice), or cut the packets and eat the mushrooms directly from them. Have lots of crusty bread on hand to sop up the juices.

Steps:

• 1. Stack two 2 1/2-foot-long pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil. In the center, heap 18 littleneck clams, scrubbed; 2 diced seeded plum tomatoes; 1 shallot, thinly sliced; and the leaves from a few sprigs of flat-leaf parsley and oregano sprigs, coarsely chopped. If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Top with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional). Fold up the sides of the foil to form a pouch.
• 2. Pour 1/4 cup dry white wine over the clam mixture, and roll the top edges over several times to seal tightly, leaving plenty of room for the clams to steam.
• 3. Place the pouch on the hot grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the shells have opened. Serve immediately with grilled crusty bread.

Steps:

• Place scallops on foil.
• Cover with mushrooms, butter, parsley, and garlic.
• Sprinkle with seasoning.
• Double fold heavy duty aluminum foil and seal ends.
• Grill on low-medium heat about 12 minutes or until done.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium (if you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 5 to 6 seconds). Cut a piece of heavy-duty foil and a piece of parchment to 12 by 18 inches. Place foil on a work surface; lay parchment on top. Toss mushrooms, garlic, parsley, thyme, and oil in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Mound mushroom mixture in center of parchment, allowing a 3-inch border all around.
• Hold the long sides of parchment and foil; bring together, and fold twice, creasing to seal firmly. Fold short ends twice, creasing to seal firmly.
• Grill packet until you hear mushrooms and liquid sizzling, 10 to 15 minutes. Flip packet, and grill until mushrooms are soft, about 15 minutes more. (Press lightly to test tenderness, or unfold center of packet to check, but be careful of steam escaping.) Remove packet, and let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. DO NOT USE A NON-STICK SKILLET.
• When butter begins to foam, add the minced garlic, scallions, and mushrooms and sauté for 2 minutes, or until tender.
• Add the scallops and sprinkle with half of the garlic powder, half of the salt and half of the pepper. Saute covered for about 3-5 minutes, or until the scallops begin to turn opaque (white).
• Turn the scallops over and sprinkle the rest of the garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Cover again and continue to sauté another 1 or 2 minutes.
• Once the scallops are cooked, remove to a plate and cover the plate with the lid from the skillet.
• Add the sherry to the skillet that contains the butter, mushrooms and scallions and continue to heat for 1 or 2 minutes.
• Place 6 scallops on each of the 2 dinner plates. Spoon the sauce with the mushrooms and scallions over the scallops and serve.
