GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice and salt. Place scallops in a large bowl, and toss with butter mixture. Let stand for about 2 minutes.
• Thread scallops onto skewers, or use a wire grill basket. Cook on preheated grill for about 4 minutes per side.
• Return butter mixture to saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and keep warm while scallops cook. Toss with grilled scallops and serve.

ROSEMARY-GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Pull off and discard crescent-shaped muscle on side of each scallop that has one. Strip leaves off bottom 2 inches of rosemary sprigs (slide them off with your thumb and forefinger). Reserve leaves, and set sprigs aside. Cut prosciutto into strips just large enough to wrap around scallops (about 1 by 3 inches).
• Lay a scallop flat on a work surface. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around it. Skewer a rosemary sprig through prosciutto and scallop to other side. Repeat with remaining scallops. Arrange scallops in a baking dish. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice on both sides, sprinkle with rosemary leaves and season with salt and pepper. (Go easy on salt, as prosciutto is fairly salty.) Marinate for 15 minutes, while you light grill.
• Set up grill for direct grilling, and preheat to high. Brush and oil grate. Arrange scallops on grate, and grill until just cooked, about 2 minutes a side. Serve at once.

SEARED ROSEMARY SCALLOPS

Steps:

• If using rosemary branches, remove leaves from all but top 3 inches of each branch. In a small bowl stir together chopped rosemary, paprika, and cayenne. Remove tough muscle from side of each scallop if necessary and pat scallops dry. Season scallops with salt and sprinkle with rosemary mixture. Thread 4 scallops onto each rosemary branch or bamboo skewer.
• In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté scallops until golden and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
• Serve scallops with potato salad and mango salsa.
