How to Make Plank Grilled Scallops

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. If using, arrange fresh herb sprigs (such as thyme or rosemary) on the soaked cedar plank.
  5. Place the scallops on top of the herbs (or directly on the plank if not using herbs).
  6. Carefully place the plank on the preheated grill.
  7. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the scallops are opaque and lightly browned. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your scallops; larger scallops will require longer cooking time.
  8. Remove from grill and let rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious plank grilled scallops!
