Unthawed Frozen Scallops Cooking Method
Unthawed Frozen Scallops Cooking Method
The internet articles declare that the frozen Scallops before cooking them, as if such was really important. Then they get into controversy re the proper method for thawing the Scallops and how thawing improperly will mess things up. I found that I could get successful results with frozen scallops without thawing them first simply by:
1) Preheat griddle to max heat. Put whole black peppercorns, salt, & unpeeled garlic cloves in griddle.
2) Rub Red Palm Oil (I would have preferred coconut oil but was out of it) & (optional) Tamarind Paste over frozen scallops; grill frozen scallops on indoor griddle 4-7 minutes ( depending on how many minutes they have been at room temperature, how many scallops cooked at once); leave scallops untouched during first minute of grilling; reverse position of the scallops as much as possible and leave still for 2nd minute of grilling; constantly roll scallops around for remainder; turn off heat of griddle; remove from griddle and let sit for 2 minutes before eating.
Total time from Scallops out of fridge to Scallops ready to eat: 6-9 minutes.
