Scallops and Mango Skewers
Sweet and meaty, fresh scallops are the most user-friendly of mollusks and make for easy summer suppers. Skewer them with bell peppers, red onion and mango, and they can go from grill to table in about 15 minutes flat. The trick to grilling scallops is simple: Err on the side of undercooking since an undercooked scallop is far more enjoyable than an overcooked one. Take the scallops off the grill before they’re opaque all the way through.
Grilled Scallops With Peaches, Corn and Tomatoes
The easiest hot-weather supper, this salad benefits from peak-summer ingredients, which need very little prep. You can throw the corn cobs and halved peaches directly on the grill, but if your scallops are small enough to fall through the grates, you should skewer them onto metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water. The only thing worse than losing a sweet, meaty scallop into the fire would be overcooking it, so be sure to remove the scallops from the grill before they’re fully opaque.
Raw Scallops on Bacon
Salty and sweet, crisp and tender, bacon and scallops pair well together in this impossibly easy dish. Any time you cook with a limited ingredient list, you want to select good-quality items, especially when working with raw seafood. Many store-bought scallops are soaked in a phosphate solution that plumps them up with water (and increases the price), so it’s important to look for scallops that are labeled “dry” or “dry-packed,” since a phosphate-marinated scallop can taste soapy. Since the scallops are served over bacon, season them frugally with just a hint of salt.
Scallop Panzanella
Creamy, sweet, briny and meaty at the same time, scallops are the most user-friendly of mollusks and require minimal preparation. Here, they are grilled with tomatoes and crusty bread, then tossed with a classic dressing of lemon juice and olive oil in a fresh take on classic panzanella.
Grilled Scallops With Kale and Olives
Cook scallops on the grill, and they’ll stand up to stronger flavors like kale and olives in this hearty grilled salad. You’ll want to firmly massage your kale with its lemon dressing to tenderize it, so it doesn’t overpower the delicate grilled scallops. If desired, you could even grill the kale, then toss with the olives and onions just before serving.
Scallop Tartare
Sweet and tender scallops make a natural substitute for raw beef in tartare. While beef stands up to strong, aggressive capers and mustard, the ratios are dialed back here to accommodate the scallop, which is more subtle. Because they’re being served raw, it’s important to buy fresh, high-quality scallops. Many store-bought options are soaked in a phosphate solution that plumps them up with water (therefore bumping up the price), so it’s important to look for scallops that are labeled “dry” or “dry-packed” for more pure flavor.
