As you cook scallops on a cedar plank, the flavor will be enhanced by a delightful mix of garlic, smoked paprika, and lemon zest. The smokey flavor from the cedar gives these tasty scallops a unique flavor.
Ingredients: 1 pound fresh scallops. 1 cedar plank, soaked in water for at least 2 hours. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh parsley for garnish.
Instructions: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to create a marinade. Pat the scallops dry and coat them with the marinade. Let them sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors. Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill for 2-3 minutes per side to develop a smoky aroma. Arrange the marinated scallops on the preheated cedar plank. Grill the scallops on the cedar plank for 6-8 minutes, turning once, or until they are opaque and have beautiful grill marks. Remove from the grill, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy the epic flavor of cedar plank grilled scallops!
