Yield
4 servings (serving size: 4 scallops)
Ingredients
- 16 large sea scallops (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil ---I used grapeseed oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley---I used curly parsley
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Preparation
Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 scallops; sauté 2 1/2 minutes on each side or until browned. Set aside, and keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining 8 scallops. Wipe pan clean with a paper towel.
Add butter to pan; reduce heat, and cook until butter melts. Stir in parsley and garlic, and cook 15 seconds. Return scallops to pan; toss to coat.
This is what I use everytime I cook scallops. I found it at Whole Foods and I LOVE the flavor it gives the scallops.
I use grapeseed oil instead of olive oil when I cook this for two reasons :
- It doesn't add any additional flavor to the dish..
- It has a higher flashpoint that olive oil. LOVE that. IMO.
The Corn:
What you need:
I don't measure anything I just mix it up:
Clean your corn as best as you can. I promise I can NEVER get ALL the silk off. Any tips? LOL
Spread the mixture all over the corn:
Keep the husk on and wrap it up in heavy duty foil and stick it on the grill:
(I used my gas grill because I wasn't going to light my charcoal grill for a few pieces of corn lol)
Check on it after a while (I have NO clue how long this cooked...I just looked at it from time to time lol)
When it's done, remove it from the grill (WITH PROTECTED HANDS...don't ask lol)
It looks like it burned...
It's not. The husk cooked first, so your corn is good :)
Ohh I LOVE this salad dressing...
Make a salad and serve! LOL I don't eat croutons, so we use shaved almonds....SO GOOD.
I'm hungry

I love scallops AND corn. I've never grilled corn before. I'll definitely be giving this recipe a try. Where'd you get the salad dressing from?
Posted by: Nikki | October 21, 2009 at 10:52 AM
That looks SO GOOD! We're suckers for scallops in our house, so I'll have to give that seasoning blend a shot.
