Grilled Garlic Scallops Recipe
Serves: 2-4 | Prep Time: 15 min. | Cook Time: 6-8 min.
Ingredients for Grilled Garlic Scallops Recipe:
- 1 lb scallops
- 1/3 cup butter or margarine
- 3 large cloves garlic (minced or pressed)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
- 1/4 cup minced parsley
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp celery salt
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 1 green pepper (cut into about 12 squares)
- 4 wooden skewers like the Panda Toothpicks
Directions for Grilled Garlic Scallops Recipe:
STEP 2: Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes before using to help reduce burning.
STEP 3: Preheat your gas grill on HIGH heat - you can also use charcoal for an even better taste.
STEP 4: In frying pan, combine butter, garlic, shallots, parsley, nutmeg, and celery salt. Saute at low heat for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
STEP 5: Meanwhile, put the scallops on 4 wooden skewers with the cherry tomatoes and green peppers.
STEP 6: Reduce the heat to MEDIUM – LOW. Place skewers on the barbecue and grill those sticks of deliciousness, turning as necessary, until the scallops are cooked through and change colour. This should take about 6 to 8 minutes.
