John Setzler Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I love shrimp and scallops. Seared scallops are, in my humble opinion, the chateaubriand of the sea. Getting a PERFECT sear on the outside is the key to having a great scallop. The cast iron pan or griddle is the perfect solution and getting it to the right temperature to get a sear like this without over charring the scallop takes a little practice sometimes. When I am cooking on an iron pan or iron griddle in the Kamado, I like to get my dome temp up to around 400-ish degrees. I like to get it there and let it stabilize for 30-40 minutes whenever possible. The iron griddle or pan will be in the upper grill position and it will normally be somewhere between 500-550 degrees which is perfect for searing just about anything WITHOUT OVER CHARRING! dsarcher and Rob_grill_apprentice 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I would typically serve these along with a small steak or with some pasta and have some veggies to go with it... stir fried veggies or grilled asparagus... possibly rice instead of pasta... lots of options.

Marty Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Those look awesome. The first time that iI used the half moon griddle on the smooth side to sear--I just could not believe how good it is . It worked far better than the CI on the stove top. John Setzler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
