FAQ Section
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
While it’s best to serve scallops fresh off the grill, you can prepare the tomato basil orzo ahead of time and reheat it before serving. Just toss it with a little olive oil to loosen it up.
How do I know when scallops are done?
Scallops are done when they turn opaque and firm to the touch. They should have a golden-brown sear on the outside but remain tender on the inside. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes per side to avoid overcooking.
What kind of scallops should I use?
Opt for large, fresh sea scallops, preferably dry-packed. Dry-packed scallops are free from added moisture and chemicals, which helps them sear beautifully.
