How to Prepare Grilled Scallops with Cheese
-
Prepare the scallops
Prepare a bowl of water, add some salt and some fresh chili, then soak the scallops for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, rinse the scallops thoroughly with water several times.
Use a knife to separate the scallop from the shell, then use your hands to take out the scallop’s coral.
Note: Only take the coral of the scallop and the white meat underneath the scallop.
-
Sautéing scallop meat
Place a pan on the stove, add the prepared scallops, 1 teaspoon of seasoning, and sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the meat is firm.
-
Baking scallops
Place on the scallop shell: a bit of sautéed scallops (with a little cooking juice), a bit of boiled pasta, and a bit of mozzarella cheese.
Then, place the scallops in a glass oven and bake for 5 – 10 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius.
Note: If you don’t have a glass oven, you can also use a conventional oven or a charcoal stove!
-
Final Product
The scallops just out of the oven smell incredibly fragrant, and the first sensation will be the rich, stretchy cheese layer alongside the sweet, tender scallop meat beneath. The dish will taste even better when you enjoy it while the scallops are still hot.
How to choose fresh and delicious scallops
- Choose scallops with intact shells and no cracks.
- Prefer scallops with the tongue sticking out, as this indicates they are still alive. Live scallops will naturally open and close their shells.
- Avoid choosing scallops that have a foul smell, are open but cannot close, as these are dead scallops.
How to clean scallops, removing sand
- Put fresh scallops in a basin and cover them with water. Cut about 2 – 3 chili peppers, add them to the basin, and let it sit for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- After soaking, take the scallops out and rinse them with clean water to finish.
