Planked Scallops Recipes

PLANK-GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Soak wood plank in water or other juice/herb mixture for a minimum of an hour (or use my trick and pull a pre-soaked plank out of the freezer -- see my recipe!).
• Place thawed scallops in a bowl and toss with lime juice, wine and spice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
• Light grill. When grill is ready, place wood plank on grill. After three minutes, flip plank. Place scallops on plank, close grill and let cook for about 10 minutes (depending on size of scallops!).
• Remove scallops from grill and serve.
• **Remember - food will continue to cook on plank after removed from grill, so adjust time according to your food!**.
• Sometimes, I wrap scallops with proscuitto and hold proscuitto in place with partially stripped rosemary "toothpicks" for a different flavor -- yummy!

PLANKED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Soak the cherry plank in water for at least an hour
• Remove the catch muscle from the side of each scallop, if present, as they can be tough
• Place the scallops in a bowl and add the wine, lime juice, garlic, and pepper
• Prepare the grill for medium grilling (300-325 degrees)
• Place the plank right over the coals or hot burner for 4-5 minutes and then flip the cherry wood plank over
• Place the scallops on the plank and close the lid
• After about 20 minutes of grilling, the scallops should be ready to come off the grill

CEDAR PLANK SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Soak planks in water at least 1 hour. In a large bowl, whisk wine, oil, basil, thyme and lime juice. Add scallops; gently toss to coat. Let stand 15 minutes., Place planks on grill rack over direct medium heat. Cover and heat 4-5 minutes or until light to medium smoke comes from the plank and the wood begins to crackle. (This indicates the plank is ready.) Turn plank over and place on indirect heat. Drain scallops, discarding marinade. Place scallops on plank. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat 10-12 minutes or until firm and opaque.
