First time I ever tried fixing scallops. Used this recipe on the Big Green Egg, the wife being the scallop expert gave it 2 thumbs up, and an order to do this again.
Good flavor, but 20 min for scallops was waaay too long 🙁

Hi Malcolm,
Not sure if you monitor the archived posts, but I am wanting to make this as well as your honey-glazed Salmon recipe. Do you have any advice on how to time these to complete at the same time? I am doing Salmon on the GrillaGrill Silverbac (nice recommendation), so I’d like to do these on the same pit if possible. Can also fire up weber if needed. Thanks!
Fantastic recipe. All the flavors come together beautifully and don’t overpower the scallops. Whoever gave this only 2 stars doesn’t know what they’re talking about! Our go-to recipe for special occaisions.
