Want to add a Southwestern kick to your seared scallops? With Chef Greg's 4 Letter Rub and Ray's Loco Gringo Rub, this dish will have just the right amount of spice to balance out the scallops' subtle flavor.
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat recteq to 350°F with a Sear Kit flat side up.
- Step 2: Remove the side muscle from the scallops. Often times, your fish monger will do this for you.
- Step 3: Add the cleaned scallops to a large mixing bowl and toss with the olive oil, Ray's Loco Gringo Rub, and Chef Greg's 4 Letter Rub.
- Step 4: Add the scallops in a single layer on the Sear Kit and allow them to sear for 2 minutes. Flip, and cook an additional 2 minutes.
- Step 5: Remove from the recteq when the scallops are just cooked through to around 125°F. They should have just a bit of bounce when pressed with your finger.
