Steps:

• Put the mayonnaise, cherry peppers, vinegar, 2 tbsp parsley, mustard, lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, thyme, and garlic in a blender. Season with salt and pepper and puree until fairly smooth. Set aside. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp oil in a medium saute pan over high heat. Add the breadcrumbs and cook until lightly golden brown. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1 tbsp parsley and the lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat the grill for high heat direct grilling. Skewer 2 or 3 scallops onto 2 skewers so that the scallops lay flat. Brush both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the scallops until well caramelized on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook another 30 seconds or so. Remove to a platter, drizzle with vinaigrette and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs.
