Easy Smoked Scallops Recipe

Step 1

Take the scallops and give them a quick rinse. Once they are cleaned place them in a pan and dry using a paper towel.

Step 2

Take some olive oil and drizzle it over the scallops, then sprinkle some salt and pepper to season the scallops.

Step 3

Prepare the smoker and heat it up to 210 degrees F. Add your preferred smoking wood chips to the smoker.

Step 4

It’s time to place the scallops in the smoker. Use a grill basket brushed with oil or simply place them on the grill, making sure they are away from the direct heat, and then close the lid of the smoker.

Step 5

Cook the scallops for about 30-40 mins at 210 degrees F. Remove the scallops from the smoker when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.

Step 6

Time to prepare the white wine garlic drizzle. Take a small saucepan, add some butter to it, and melt it over low temperature.

Step 7

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the melted butter. After this, add minced garlic to the butter and stir it continuously so that the garlic doesn’t get burned.

Step 8

Add wine to this mixture and let it simmer on a low medium flame until the scallops are smoked.

Step 9

Once the scallops are smoked remove them from the smoker. Also remove the sauce from the heat, dish out the cooked, and smoked scallops. Drizzle them with the sauce you just made and serve them.
