Grilled Sea Scallops With Radicchio Recipes

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH RADICCHIO AND PANCETTA

Steps:

• Season the scallops with olive oil and salt and pepper. Wrap each scallop in a radicchio leaf. Fold a slice of pancetta around each packet, securing it with a toothpick or skewer that has been soakd in water to prevent burning on the grill. Grill over medium-hot coals until the pancetta is crispy, 4 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the scallops in a bowl, sprinkle them with the thyme and two tablespoons of the olive oil and toss them. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for two hours before cooking. Remove from the refrigerator 10 minutes before cooking the scallops.
• Preheat broiler or grill. Cut each head of radicchio into four pieces. Sprinkle radicchio with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the radicchio until it is wilted and lightly browned, turning occasionally. Remove to a warm platter.
• Grill the scallops until they are browned on both sides. Divide the radicchio among four plates along with the scallops. Garnish each with a lemon quarter and a sprig of thyme.

QUICK MARINATED GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Set up your grill for high heat by building coals evenly on the bottom of the grill.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, garlic, chopped oregano and 1/2 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then add the scallops, tossing to coat. Allow to marinate for 10 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the scallops from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting. Place the scallops on the grill and cook until charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and using the oregano brush, baste with the leftover marinade. Char on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve.
