Ingredients

  • 16 fresh sea scallops extra large
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Remove scallops from package and pat dry with a paper towel.


  2. In a large mixing bowl add scallops, olive oil, and fresh ground pepper. Mix together well.

  3. Start your smoker, I use a Traeger so I start on the smoke setting and allow the fire to establish. For this recipe I use a Himalayan Salt Plate to cook on. Once your smokers fire is established place your salt plate on the grill and pre-heat using the manufactures suggested method. 

  4. Once the salt plate has pre-heated turn your smoker to high, which for me is about 450 degrees, and close lid. allow to heat up for fifteen minutes.

  5. Add scallops to salt plate making sure you have an inch or two spacing. 

  6. Close the lid and smoke for about 3 minutes per side. Time may vary depending on how hot your smoker will get. 

Recipe Notes

If you don't have a Himalayan Salt Plate you can also grill directly on the grill. You will need to add salt and the cook time will be about two minutes per side.
