I’ve been on a scallop kick lately and if these gentle magazines don’t stop coming up with delicious recipes for these tasty little suckers well then you are just going to have to get used to it!
This Grilled Scallops with Honeydew-Avocado Salsa from Food & Wine magazine is my favorite scallop dish I’ve tested so far. Not only is the ingredient list short and there are only two steps, but the flavors were out of this world. The salsa is fun twist on a traditional salsa verde with honeydew melon and fresh avocado, plus a little bit of olive oil and salt and pepper. I did add a smidge of honey at the end and folded into the salsa just for good measure. Then you simply grill (or grill on a grill pan inside your house…sigh) the scallops and that’s it. This was on the table in no time and I LOVED it!
Now I want scallops for dinner! This sounds great.
Ooh yum, honeydew and avocado. How could that be bad? Cooking scallops scares me, though…did they work well on the grill?
I just did them on a grill pan on the stove since I’m not allowed to grill on my apartment complex balcony. Sigh! I tried scallops for the first time last month and they are super simple to make at home.
