Recently someone asked about a recipe for scallops. This is our favorite. I know a lot of folks don’t care for mesquite but the flavor here is very subtle (the grill time is very short) and adds tremendously to the overall taste. Recipe is below.
Enjoy.
Ray
Ray’s Grilled Scallops
1-lb large sea scallops
1 tbs evoo
MMHP sauce (see below)
2 tbs your favorite rub (my wife’s is listed below)
Mesquite chips for gasser or (chunks for charcoal)
Marinade
2 tbs evoo
¼ cup tequila
Juice of 1 lime (note – zest lime before squeezing)
4 garlic cloves – minced
zest of the lime
Mix marinade ingredients and place scallops in marinade for 20 to 30 minutes.
Remove scallops from marinade and place in bowl. Sprinkle 1 tbs evoo and the rub over them and toss to lightly coat.
Heat grill until grate is as hot as you can get it. Grill scallops with mesquite chips in smoker box (about 2 to 3 minutes per side depending on size).
Serve with the sauce.
MMHP Sauce
MMHP Sauce = Mustard, Mayonnaise, Horseradish, and Pepper (Roaster Red Pepper)
