Smoked Scallops with Garlic

Smoked Scallops with Garlic

These smoked scallops are super juicy. The coconut oil and garlic, along with the smoke, add a spectacular subtle flavour.

Ingredients:

10/20 scallops
2 tbsp coconut oil
3 garlic cloves minced
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
1 tbsp chopped basil
Chives for garnish
Sliced lemons for garnish

 

Method:

Preheat your smoker to 83°C.

Add 1tbsp of coconut oil to a frying pan over high heat (coconut oil is used because of its high smoke point and to add a nutty flavor to the scallops. Olive oil can be substituted).

Add scallops to a bowl and combine with remaining coconut oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat.

Add scallops to the hot pan and sear for 30 seconds per side. Remove from the pan to prevent further cooking.

Next, arrange the scallops in a small roasting pan or aluminum foil pan. Add garlic and chopped basil and lightly stir.

Place into the smoker and smoke until the scallops reach an internal temperature of 63°C (because of variations in the size of scallops and smokers, do not solely go by time. Be sure to check the internal temperature before removing them. (Approx. 1 hour to reach 63°C.)

 

Garnish with chopped chives and lemon slices. Serve with crusty bread for dipping if you like. Enjoy!
