Grilled Scallops
Happy Seafood Saturday, y’all! Grilled scallops are one of my FAVORITE foods. I love a good scallop any time of the year, but these little babies are a staple at the lake during the summer. These grilled scallops are best served with grilled vegetables (zucchini, mushrooms and Vidalia onions) and rice! Usually I will make 2 batches of the marinade, one for the scallops and then one for the veggies. Both the scallops and veggies are easier to contain and grill in a grill basket. My favorite grill basket is this nifty one from Pampered Chef. I am seriously obsessed with this basket. I am not sure they make them any more (all I can find is links to the basket on eBay) but I also have a Weber grilling basket that works well!
