    Pepper Grilled Scallops,Keep the heat out of the kitchen this summer! These pepper grilled scallops taste fantastic! Toss them on to a bed of salad greens and veggies and you have a nice light summer dish! They are surprisingly easy to make. Simply, throw some peppercorns on the grill — and you will have interesting new aromas to sample. Revised recipe from Andrea Viestad’s Food for Summer. Adjusted cooking time per recent review.,Yum, yum, yum!! Super easy and that mustard vinaigrette is a winner! These were lovely and tender and tasted great. We served ours with samphire and the extra vinaigrette; delicious!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Preheat Your Gas or Charcoal Grill to a Hot to Medium Hot Level. You Want Your Fire to Be Just Under the Hot Level but not to the Medium Hot Level Yet.

    2
    Done

    Meanwhile, Allow Your Scallops to Come to Room Temp While Your Prepare the Vinaigrette.

    3
    Done

    Combine the Vinegar, Honey, Mustard, and Oil in a Bowl and Whisk Together With a Fork. If It Does not Whisk Together Well Just Pop It Into the Microwave For About 30 Seconds. Warming Makes the Honey Mix More Easily With the Other Ingredients.

    4
    Done

    Pour Half the Vinaigrette Into a Small Serving Bowl. Set Aside. Toss the Scallops With the Remaining Vinaigrette, Remove Them from the Bowl, and Season With Salt, Pepper, and Thyme.

    5
    Done

    the Grilling Has to Be Done Very Quickly. Grill the Scallops For a Minute or Two on One Side Then Throw the Black Peppercorns Onto the Hottest Part of the Fire. (this Really Only Works on a Charcoal Fire. You Could Try Putting the Peppercorns in Foil With the Top Open and Place the Packet on the Hottest Part of the Grill. Put the Packet on as Soon as You Start Your Gas Grill) Allow the Scallops to Cook For About 2 or 3 Minutes More.

    6
    Done

    Turn the Scallops and Allow Them to Cook For About 4 to 5 Minutes on This Side, Then Remove Them and Serve Immediately Using the Remaining Vinaigrette as a Salad Dressing For the Greens.

    7
    Done

    Note: You Could Do the Same With Shrimp or Half Shrimp and Half Scallops. Please Adjust Your Time With the Size of Your Seafood.

    8
    Done

    One More Note: Please Allow Your Ingredients to Warm Up to Room Temp Before Placing on the Grill For More Accurate Cooking Times. Thanks!
