Scallops and asparagus cooked just above the coals last evening

I posted a few days ago the results of using a smaller grid that sets down low in the egg to sear steaks just above the coals.  I took another angle last night with some scallops and a few asparagus spears.

Got home late and nobody was hungry so this meal was just for me.  I started to light the egg when the thought occurred to me that, since I wasn't cooking much food, why not just use the leftover charcoal from my last cook and the "searing grid" that I did the steaks on Saturday.  OK then, sounds like a good idea.  So I brushed the scallops and asparagus with EVOO and seasoned them up.  It didn't take very long to get the lump going with the propane torch.  After just a few minutes I dropped the small grid in there and it was setting about 4-5 inches above a small but hot fire.  The results are in the pics below.

Atvantages
- I used very little charcoal, only that which was left from a previous cook.
- I didn't have to heat up the grill or wait for the temp to rise or the smoke to clear.   The dome temp never exceeded 350 but the temp where I was cooking was much higher.
- Quick fire start and a very short wait and cook time.
