Grilled Scallops a la Penzeys

It’s June and that means National Seafood Month, so I’m talking about Grilled Scallops a la Penzeys. Scallops are a favorite at our house. They are quick to prepare (10 minutes) and so scrumptious. We keep a bag of them in the freezer so when the urge strikes, we can have scallops, deliciously and quickly prepared.

If I forget to take the scallops out of the freezer in the morning, I put the frozen scallops, 3 to 5 per person, in a plastic bag and submerge them in warm water for about 15 minutes until they thaw. I tried cooking scallops frozen—not a good idea—too well done on the outside and undercooked in the center.

What You Need

For this recipe, you need measuring spoons and a good sauté pan. Our daughter-in-law gave us a collection of Penzeys Spices for Christmas. I’ve been trying them on various foods. For Grilled Scallops a la Penzeys I used Fox Point Seasoning. It’s perfect. It’s a perfect mixture of salt, freeze-dried shallots, chives, garlic, onion and green peppercorns. Get yourself some. I also add a little butter to the olive oil for flavor to get that delicious brown crust on the scallops.

      This looks delicious, Don. I am a big fan of Penzey’s Fox Point seasoning — great on a lot of things.

      Thanks, Elizabeth. Yes Penzeys are a great way to season in a hurry with great success. Our daughter-in -law Julie supplied us with about a half dozen different spices. It’s been fun experimenting with them.

      I made this dish tonight (for our 44th anniversary dinner) and it was perfect! Your cooking time was so helpful, because in the past I’ve had trouble with over-cooking the scallops. My husband cannot abide seafood that is undercooked, so getting it just right was wonderful.

      I served it over red quinoa and used the butter/oil/seasoning juices over all.

      Delicious!

      P.S. For anyone wondering why he didn’t take me out to dinner on our anniversary, we made a deal: he gets to watch the World Series and I get to pick my favorite restaurant next week after the series is over. 🙂
