Anniversary Scallops

ChrisgrillsSTLMO

Thanks to @CPARKTX and @KiterTodd for their recipes and steps for doing scallops on the Egg. SWMBO requested some seafood for our anniversary so I decided to do Scallops using the aforementioned information. This was my first attempt of scallops so I was a little leery but went for it anyway. Tried to keep the Egg at about 475-500° and had the cast iron warm up on the Egg once it was at 350°. Started with sauteing the red onions in olive oil and S & P. Also did prosciutto wrapped asparagus (not pictured) at this time as well. Once those were done I put in the scallops with butter, olive oil, and sea salt (figured that was appropriate). I did 3 minutes on one side, 4 on the other which may have been a little too long, though SWMBO thought they were great. I deviated from the recipe slightly by adding balsamic vinegar and a little Parmesan cheese.Paired with a 2006 Mumm Napa DVX Sparkling they were pretty darn good. Next time I might pull them a little earlier but overall I was happy with the first effort. Thanks for looking have a great weekend,

Cheers,

TTC

Nice work!

I gotta tell you, that cook looked awesome. Scallops are so hard for me to get the right texture. Thank you for the insight. I will try your method the next time SWMBO wants me to do seafood.
Great presentation and I am sure they were as delicious as they looked.
Congratulations on the anniversary!
