Charcoal Grilled Scallops Recipe

 Charcoal Grilled Scallops


Charcoal Grilled Scallops

Grilling scallops over charcoal adds a smoky, slightly charred flavor that enhances their natural sweetness. This recipe keeps it simple with a zesty marinade and quick grilling for a delicious, restaurant-quality dish.

Ingredients

(Serves 4)

  • 1 pound large sea scallops (about 12-16)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Scallops

  • Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Remove the small side muscle from each scallop, if still attached.

2. Make the Marinade

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.

3. Marinate the Scallops

  • Place the scallops in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the scallops, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  • Let the scallops marinate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.

4. Prepare the Grill

  • Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Once the coals are hot and covered with white ash, arrange them for direct grilling.
  • Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

5. Grill the Scallops

  • Thread the scallops onto skewers if desired (this makes flipping easier). Alternatively, place them directly on the grill.
  • Grill the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, until they develop grill marks and are opaque in the center. Do not overcook, as they can become rubbery.

6. Serve

  • Remove the scallops from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips

  • Fresh Scallops: Use the freshest scallops you can find for the best flavor. Dry-packed scallops are ideal, as they sear and grill better than wet-packed ones.
  • Skewers: If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
  • Variations: Add a sprinkle of chili flakes or a drizzle of honey to the marinade for extra depth of flavor.
  • Sides: Pair with grilled vegetables, rice pilaf, or a crisp salad.

Charcoal-grilled scallops are an effortless yet impressive dish, perfect for summer barbecues or an outdoor dinner party. Enjoy the smoky goodness! 🔥🦪🍋
