Ingredients:
1 pound bay scallops
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Optional: minced garlic, lemon juice, fresh herbs like parsley or thyme
Preheat the OptiGrill XL:
Turn on the OptiGrill XL and set it to manual mode with medium-high heat. Let it preheat for a few minutes.
Prepare the Scallops:
Rinse the bay scallops under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. Dry scallops sear better and have a nicer texture.
Season the Scallops:
Toss the scallops in olive oil or melted butter. Season with salt and pepper. You can also add minced garlic or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.
Grill the Scallops:
Place on the Grill: Arrange the scallops in a single layer on the preheated grill. Make sure they are not overcrowded.
Cook Time: Close the grill lid and cook for about 2-3 minutes, depending on their size. Bay scallops cook quickly and should be opaque and firm when done.
Finish and Serve:
If you want a bit of extra color and flavor, you can cook them for an additional 30 seconds with the lid open.
Once cooked, remove the scallops from the grill. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips:
To add a bit of a char, you can increase the heat slightly during the last minute of cooking.
Serve the scallops over pasta, rice, or alongside a fresh salad.
Pair with a light white wine sauce or a squeeze of lemon for extra zest.
Enjoy your perfectly grilled bay scallops! - Source: Copilot
