Pepper Grilled Scallops Recipes

Steps:

• Pat dry each scallop and lay them on a tray. Sprinkle on some olive oil, coating scallops on all sides. Season the scallops with salt, black pepper, and lemon pepper, making sure that the seasoning covers all sides. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
• Grill for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Serve immediately.

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:

• 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.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsps of the oil in a saucepan; add onion& cook gently until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add peppers, garlic& thyme and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
• Add the stock, bring to a boil, reduce heat& simmer for 20 minutes or until the peppers are very soft.
• Puree the pepper mixture, return to a clean pan, add the cream& sugar and bring to a boil.
• Season to taste, reduce heat& simmer for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season the scallops.
• Add remaining oil to a very hoy frying pan& sear the scallops for 2 minutes on the first side.
• Turn& cook for another minute or until just opaque in the center.
• Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• Cook the farro as the label directs. Meanwhile, whisk the orange juice, vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl; season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the plums, fennel, shallot and jalapeño and toss well to coat.
• Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates. Toss the scallops with the coriander, orange zest and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill the scallops until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate.
• Fluff the farro with a fork and add it to the plum-fennel mixture. Stir in the mint. Divide the farro salad among plates and top with the scallops.

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Combine the ground coriander, cumin and salt in a medium bowl. Brush the scallops with olive oil and dredge on one side only. Grill scallops, spice side down for 2 minutes or until golden brown, turn over and continue grilling for 1 to 2 minutes until just cooked through. Place chickpea salad in the center of the plate, top with 4 scallops per person. Pour vinaigrette around the plate and drizzle with cilantro oil. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes before serving.
• Heat juice of peppers with honey, saffron, onion, and vinegar until reduced by half or to a thickened consistency. Place in a blender and slowly add the oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in a squeeze bottle
• Blend all ingredients in a blender for about 4 to 5 minutes or, until smooth. Place in a strainer lined with cheesecloth, set over a medium bowl and let the oil slowly drip, do not push through. Place oil in a squeeze bottle.

Steps:

• Preheat your gas or charcoal grill to a hot to medium hot level. You want your fire to be just under the hot level but not to the medium hot level yet.
• Meanwhile, allow your scallops to come to room temp while your prepare the vinaigrette.
• Combine the vinegar, honey, mustard, and oil in a bowl and whisk together with a fork. If it does not whisk together well just pop it into the microwave for about 30 seconds. Warming makes the honey mix more easily with the other ingredients.
• Pour half the vinaigrette into a small serving bowl. Set aside. Toss the scallops with the remaining vinaigrette, remove them from the bowl, and season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
• The grilling has to be done very quickly. Grill the scallops for a minute or two on one side then throw the black peppercorns onto the hottest part of the fire. (This really only works on a charcoal fire. You could try putting the peppercorns in foil with the top open and place the packet on the hottest part of the grill. Put the packet on as soon as you start your gas grill) Allow the scallops to cook for about 2 or 3 minutes more.
• Turn the scallops and allow them to cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on this side, then remove them and serve immediately using the remaining vinaigrette as a salad dressing for the greens.
• NOTE: You could do the same with shrimp or half shrimp and half scallops. Please adjust your time with the size of your seafood.
• One MORE NOTE: Please allow your ingredients to warm up to room temp before placing on the grill for more accurate cooking times. Thanks!
