Seared Scallops with Asian Lime-chile Sauce image

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small garlic clove, chopped
1 small fresh hot chile (2 1/2 inches long, preferably red), chopped, including seeds
2 1/4 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
16 medium sea scallops (1 pound), tough muscle removed from side of each if necessary
1 tablespoon olive oil
Special Equipment
4 (8-inch) bamboo skewers

Steps:

Soak skewers in water 30 minutes.
Pound garlic, chile, and sugar to a fine paste with a mortar and pestle. Stir paste together with vinegar, fish sauce, water, and lime juice. (Alternatively, purée sauce ingredients together in a blender.)
Pat scallops dry. Thread 4 on each skewer (flat sides facing out; see photo), then brush both sides with oil (2 teaspoons total for 4 skewers). Season scallops with salt and pepper.
Brush a 12-inch nonstick skillet with remaining teaspoon oil and heat over high heat until hot but not smoking. Sear scallops, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 6 minutes total.

Number Of Ingredients 12

FOR THE SAUCE:
1 medium carrot
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon hot garlic chili sauce (sriracha)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint
1 1/4 pounds large sea scallops (20 scallops)
extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

TO MAKE THE SAUCE: Cut the carrot into 1/4-inch slices. Place in a small saucepan along with 1 cup water, the soy sauce, sriracha, and cumin. Bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the carrots are just tender, about 15 minutes. Purée the mixture in a food processor, adding the vinegar, olive oil, and mint as the motor is running. The sauce should have the consistency of ketchup. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of water. If it seems too thin, simmer the sauce for a few more minutes to reduce it. Set aside. Wash the scallops and remove the small, tough side muscle (see REFERANCE & APPENDIX, _Sage Advice About Grilling Scallops). Place in a medium bowl. Add enough olive oil to lightly coat. Season with salt and pepper. Place the scallops on the grate 1 to 2 inches apart. Grill over Direct High heat until just opaque in the center, 4 to 6 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time. Remove from the grill and serve warm with the sauce drizzled on top or serve the sauce in small, individual dipping bowls.From Weber's Big Book of Grilling.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Zest and juice of 2 lemons
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano plus 1 small bunch fresh oregano tied with butcher's twine to make a basting brush
Olive oil, for marinade
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
12 U-10 sea scallops, cleaned and patted dried with a paper towel

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.
