smoked scallops

This quick Traeger smoked scallops recipe is packed with a huge smoke flavor. My method of smoking scallops on the pellet grill includes an herby, butter sauce with lemon and garlic. It’s so good!

Best Traeger Smoked Scallops Recipe | Sip Bite Go

lb scallops (large sea scallops, thawed overnight if from frozen)

salt

¼ tsp pepper

lemon (juice)

tbsp butter (salted if desired)

garlic

olive oil

tbsp parsley (fresh chopped)

Preheat Traeger

Preheat Traeger Grills or Pitt Boss or whatever pellet grill you’re using to 450 degrees F. Add a large cast iron pan on top of the grill grates in the smoker so it also preheats during this time (my cast iron skillet in the Sip Bite Go recipe demo is 12” round).

Prep scallops for smoking

Prep scallops for smoking. First, if desired, remove the “foot” of the scallop - officially called the adductor muscle - if you see one still attached, hanging off the scallop. Then run the scallops under cold running water. Next, pat scallops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of the scallops with salt and pepper. (This is also a good time to prep the sauce ingredients for later so you can quickly add them when the time comes)

Smoke scallops

Smoke scallops in a cast iron pan. Add olive oil to the preheated cast iron skillet in the Traeger. Add scallops and close the pellet grill lid. Sear the scallops in the smoker for 5 - 8 minutes, until golden brown.

Continue smoking scallops

Continue smoking scallops on the other side. Flip scallops over, close the lid again, and let them smoke for 5 minutes.

Make sauce

Quickly add sauce ingredients to the cast iron pan in the smoker. Toss in the butter, chopped garlic, and lemon juice. Smoke scallops in butter sauce 5 more minutes (the butter smokes as it melts and tastes so delicious).

Remove scoped scallops

Remove scallops. The skillet will be hot, so carefully remove the cast iron pan with smoked scallops when scallops reach about 120 degrees F as measured with an internal read thermometer (with intention that they’ll rise to 125 degrees F when served).

Finish

Finish smoked scallops. Top with chopped parsley and enjoy.
