Planked Scallops?

PhillyBoy23

I have some beautiful large scallops and was thinking of making them on an Alder or Cedar plank today.  Any suggestions on a cooking time for this.  I definitely don't want to overcook them.

I like to cook them about 5-8 minutes on a Himalayan Salt block turning at half time, lemon butter s/p sometimes wrapping with pre-cooked bacon that is still plyable. 375-400F

Here is another way:

Scallops, Bacon, Wrapped, Wise One

Based on the the Bacon Wrapped Scallops done by the Cornerstone Restaurant in Fishkill, NY.

Ingredients:

1/2 lb fresh sea scallops (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 " across) (10-16 in number)

1/4 lb raw bacon (very lean center cut).

10-16 toothpicks soaked in water for 30 minutes

1/2 cup wine or lemon juice

Favorite rub

Preparation:

1. Marinate scallops for 30 minutes or so in wine or lemon juice with water.

2. Take a ½ piece of bacon and wrap around the scallop securing in place with a toothpick.

3. Coat the exposed ends of the scallop with a favorite rub (Paul Prudhomme's Cajun magic or similar.)

Cooking:

1. Cook over a drip pan on a seafood grill for 7-10 minutes at 375 degrees. Turn half way through.

2. Serve alone or with a favorite cocktail sauce.
