HRM CREATIVE BBQ: Breaded Scallops on the old BBQ!

Breaded Scallops recipe

Well today on my wife's birthday I decided to cook her some breaded scallops on the old BBQ. Making breaded scallops on the BBQ aren't that hard to make. They are a little time consuming to make but they are very tasty and totally worth it at the end. They are really good to make as appetizer for a little party.

I definitely recommend you to use Grillgrates to cook these due to the fact that it provides you with a non stick semi-indirect cooking surface or use a good quality griddle like the ones made by "the little griddle company". Fear not if you don't own one of these accessories you can still cook them in a Cast Iron Frying pan on the BBQ.

Well let's get cooking!

Ingredients

· 15 - 20 Large fresh Scallops

· 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

· 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs

· 1 TBSP Dizzy Pig Raging River

· 1/2 TBSP Dizzy Pig Shakin' The Tree

· Optional for added heat you can replace Shakin' The Tree with Swamp Venom from Dizzy Pig rubs

· 1/2 TSP Kosher Salt

· 2 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions

1. In a shallow bowl mixes the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, Raging River, Shakin' the Tree, and Kosher Salt;

2. Wash scallops and Pat dry with Paper towel but ensure they are truly dry;

3. In a separate bowl add the Olive oil and mix in the scallops till the scallops are evenly coated with the Olive oil;

4. Now dip the scallops in the crumb mixtures and gently press the crumbs on the scallops;

5. Place the scallops on a aluminum cookie sheet and cover with a saran wrap and refrigerate 30 to 45 minutes;

6. Pre-heat your BBQ to 350 - 375 Degrees Fahrenheit. I highly recommend using Grillgrates or a Griddles to cook these. But if you don't have one you can cook them in a cast iron frying pan.

7. Cook approximately 3 - 4 minutes each side or until the center is opaque. If you want to use a good thermometer like the Thermapen the internal temp should be between 140 - 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
