Scallops on the Barbie!

[mike5051]

My better half is in New York for the week, so I've got some me time on the menu! Tonight...grilled scallops!

6 of them weighed .7 lbs! I am excited!

Marinating in some olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, and pepper. 30 minutes in the fridge.

On the hot grill for 3 minutes per side, added additional marinade before flipping

Waiting for the steamed brocolli to get done...

First plate

Second plate looked just like it! I am stuffed! Thanks for looking!

Looks like a great plate, nothing like a good scallop dinner.

Point for sure.

That's a great looking plate Mike. Mrs. is going to be bummed that she left town.

Very nice plate. Scallops that are done right are delicious. You, my friend are living right.

Nice job, Mike. The dish looks great, and one of my favorites.

Very coincidentally, my wife had to go to Miami on business for a couple days last week and I dropped by the local Whole Foods to grab something for a quick dinner. Walked out with the same U-10s that you had and cooked them pretty much the same as you did, though I used a Korean miso marinade with a ginger and soy vinaigrette that I had leftover from a prior meal..

Whoa! Prefect! That looks like such a great meal! I think I could eat those scallops raw right out of that marinade!

Thanks dls1! I hate going to Whole Foods, but I love their meats and seafood!

Thanks BEV! This was my first time marinating the scallops, I use this marinade for extra large shrimp and it always comes out great!

Thank you! I've never had bacon wrapped scallops, but it sounds incredible!

They are high priced, but my lady doesn't look at the price if it's something for me. She just got me a beer that costs $14 a bottle...limit 12! I'm happy with one, thank you! I tried it last week and exclaimed, "this is the only beer I want from now on!" She said that it's $14 each, I said "never mind" LOL!

Mine loves crabs, crawfish, shrimp, just not scallops! Go figure!

LOL---Never had Scallops wrapped in Bacon ?!?!?!
Here's a Bear story for you:
We were at a few weddings where they had Scallops wrapped in Bacon as an Hors D'oeuvre, and my Son knew how much I loved them.
Then the last wedding before my Son's wedding had them, but every time the server got to me, there were no more on the tray.
I was always disappointed, to say the least.
Then Bear Jr got married, and they had Scallops wrapped in Bacon served before everybody went in for the reception. They had 6 servers carrying trays of Treats, and I noticed every server with Scallops wrapped in Bacon came directly to me first, before anyone else. So I asked the one server what was going on??? She said that the Groom gave them all strict orders to go to the Big Guy in the Tux first, to make sure he could have all the Scallops wrapped in Bacon he could handle. I did have all I could handle too!!!

Somebody raised that kid Right !!!:D

That's a good young-un Bear. Maybe you can convince your son and his wife to renew their vows? (And invite the same caterer's, of coarse).
