Nutrition InformationYield4Amount Per Serving Calories 90Cholesterol 74mgSodium 423mgCarbohydrates 9gProtein 13g How do you grill shrimp skewers?Thread one 8”-inch skewer through the thickest part of five or six large shrimp, making sure that you don't place it too close to the end. If using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 20 minute before threading so they don't burn on the grill.
What temperature should scallops be on the grill?Typically, you'll include other items in the foil packet that cook as quickly as scallops, like mushrooms or tomatoes, plus additional fresh herbs and seasonings. Grill scallop foil packs over medium-high heat (375 degrees Fahrenheit) for approximately 15 minutes.
How do you know when scallops are done on the grill?Scallops are done when they are opaque in the center and golden brown on the outside. They should be firm but buttery, not at all difficult to cut or chew through (via The Kitchn). Scallops only take a few minutes to sear, meaning that they can become overcooked very quickly.
Can you marinate scallops too long?Make sure you use sea scallops and not the small bay scallops. Don't let them marinade for longer than one hour. This is an extremely delicate shellfish and the citrus will start to toughen the flesh if left in too long. Grill it hot and fast.
