Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Scallops

    Rinse the day boat scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry to achieve a good sear.

  2. 2

    Season the Scallops

    In a bowl, toss the scallops with house seasoning and olive oil until they are evenly coated.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F (232°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Scallops

    Place the seasoned scallops on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are blackened and cooked through. They should have a nice char but remain moist inside.

Topping

  1. 5

    Add the Gorgonzola

    During the last minute of grilling, sprinkle the gorgonzola cheese over the scallops. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese slightly.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Once removed from the grill, sprinkle chopped fresh chives over the scallops for garnish.
