Mind-Blowing Grilled Sea Scallops
Sea scallops are one of the easiest and most flavorful seafood to grill. The George Foreman Basic Grill is a perfect solution to not overcooking scallops.
Ingredients
- 12 fresh sea scallops
- 2 teaspoons butter at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon EVOO
- Sea or kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 wedges of lemon
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to high while your rice is resting.
- Pat the scallops dry while the grill is heating up.
- Mix the butter and EVOO (Extra virgin olive oil) together well. Brush or coat the hot grill with the fat, top and bottom. Add the scallops immediately and close the lid on the grill. Grill the scallops until just opaque and milky white with a nice sear on the outside. This will take approximately 1-1/2 to 3 minutes. Check at 1-1/2 minutes. If not done rotate them 45 degrees just to add some cross grill marks.
- Serve the scallops on the saffron rice with a little salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
