Seared Scallops with Lemon Butter Sauce on the Gravity Series 1150
When you want restaurant-quality seafood without leaving your backyard, seared scallops are a no-fail way to impress. Sweet, tender, and caramelized to golden perfection, these scallops are finished with a vibrant lemon butter sauce that adds just the right zip. Using the Masterbuilt Gravity Series® 1150 Digital Charcoal Grill and Smoker and the Masterbuilt Gravity Series® 1050 & 1150 Griddle Insert, you can dial in high heat for that perfect sear.
Scallop Tips
To get that signature crust, moisture is the enemy. Always pat your scallops completely dry before seasoning. High heat is key, and a hot surface means better browning and less sticking.
Tip: Don’t overcrowd the skillet—work in batches if needed to keep searing heat high.
Serving Suggestions
Scallops make an elegant starter or a light main course. For a balanced plate, serve 4–5 scallops per person over a simple arugula salad with citrus vinaigrette, or go heartier with a bed of buttery mashed cauliflower or risotto. Spoon extra lemon butter over the top and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
