For Excellent Grilled Scallops, Make Sure You Crank The Heat
By C.A. Pinkham
Many chefs recommend against grilling scallops, but they don't insist it can't be done. You just have to start with blisteringly high heat.
Scallops are usually pan-seared, and grilling them is similar in concept — both methods apply intense heat to cook the scallops without overcooking them.
First, you're going to want to make sure you oil the grill so they don't stick, and your scallops need to be on skewers to avoid falling through the grates.
Then, blast the scallops with the highest heat possible, resulting in smoky, charred scallops with a totally different dimension of flavor.
