Grilled Sea Scallops



Perfectly grilled, broiled or sautéed scallops are one of my favourite dishes, and with the first bite I am transported to the west coast. I can visualize the sunset; imagine the gentle breeze blowing through my hair and the smell of the ocean. Oh the wonderful memories of Del Mar, the Cove at Solana Beach, Cardiff Reef, Moonlight Beach and Stone Steps in Leucadia, California.

This weekend Doug will fire up the grill, cook up fresh sea scallop and toss on top of a fresh spinach salad, delicious.

Anyone heading out to ride the wild surf, my spirit is with you!

Cheers!
