Step 1

Place the ginger, soy sauce, sushi seasoning and sugar in a bowl. Use a balloon whisk to whisk until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Combine the scallops and oil in a bowl. Season with white pepper. Preheat a barbecue grill or chargrill on high. Brush with extra oil to grease. Cook one-third of scallops for 20-30 seconds each side or until just cooked through. Transfer to a separate bowl. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with remaining scallops.

Step 3

Divide the scallops and a little of the dressing among serving spoons. Sprinkle with shallots to serve.
