Grilled Scallops Recipe in Parchment

I had a good buddy who would enter a grilled scallop recipe for the seafood category… and win 1st place every time.
This grilled scallops recipe is a simple recipe and it’s delicious. You need some good, fresh scallops a few ingredients and about 20 minutes – that’s it.
This recipe isn’t actually grilling the scallops; it’s more steaming them in parchment on the grill. It keeps the texture of the scallops and allows you to get great flavor.
Plus it will make for a great presentation when you serve your guests their own package of grilled scallops they get to cut open themselves – that’s the bet part!
Chell doesn’t even like scallops but loves this recipe – so you know these grilled scallops have to be good!
