Categories     Fish     Olive     Shellfish     Tomato     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Capers     Gourmet

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (1 1/3-lb) live lobsters
1 1/2 lb small hard-shelled clams such as littlenecks (16), well scrubbed
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb jumbo shrimp (8 to 12), with shells
1 lb large sea scallops (10 to 12)
2 (2-lb) whole red snappers, cleaned and heads removed
Vegetable bulgur salad
1 3/4 cupstomato, caper, and olive vinaigrette
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted and salted
Accompaniment: lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for cooking. (If grilling seafood right after pizzas, mound live coals in center and add enough new briquets to evenly cover bottom of grill. Allow them 15 to 20 minutes to heat up.)
  • Plunge live lobsters headfirst into an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water. Cook, covered, 4 minutes from time they enter water (lobsters will be only partially cooked) and transfer with tongs to a colander to drain and cool.
  • Twist tails off each lobster and break off claws at body, discarding body. Halve tails lengthwise (including shells) with kitchen shears and lightly crack claws. (Do not remove tail or claw meat from shells.)
  • Put clams in a disposable aluminum pie plate and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Snip shells of shrimp down center of backs with kitchen shears, from wide end down to last tail section, and devein.
  • Pat lobsters, shrimp, scallops, and fish dry, then brush with remaining 4 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Put lobster claws and tails (cut sides up), shrimp, and clams (in pie plate) on rack of grill, 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, and cover grill. Cook, turning once, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes for claws (liquid will bubble at open ends), 5 to 6 minutes for tails and shrimp (meat will be opaque), and 6 to 8 minutes for clams, or until opened (discard any unopened ones).
  • Transfer as cooked to a platter and keep warm, covered.
  • Put scallops and fish in center of rack and cover grill. Cook, turning once, until just cooked through and meat is opaque, about 4 minutes for scallops and about 12 minutes for fish. Transfer with a large metal spatula to platter.
  • Mound bulgur salad in center of 8 plates and arrange seafood on top and around it. Spoon over some vinaigrette (serve remainder on the side) and sprinkle seafood and bulgur with pine nuts.

Tips:

  • Select High-Quality Sea Scallops: Choose fresh, dry-packed sea scallops with a firm texture and a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have an off odor.
  • Properly Clean the Scallops: Before cooking, remove the tough side muscle from each scallop. Rinse the scallops gently under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to prevent splattering during grilling.
  • Use High Heat for Searing: Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat. This will help sear the scallops quickly, creating a caramelized crust while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Cook Scallops in Batches: Avoid overcrowding the grill or pan. Cook the scallops in batches to ensure even cooking and prevent them from steaming instead of searing.
  • Monitor Cooking Time: Scallops cook quickly, so keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking. The ideal internal temperature for sea scallops is between 125°F (52°C) and 130°F (54°C).
  • Make a Flavorful Olive Vinaigrette: Combine good quality olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper to create a simple yet flavorful vinaigrette. The vinaigrette adds a tangy and aromatic touch to the grilled scallops.
  • Use Fresh, Ripe Tomatoes: Select ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. Cut them into wedges or slices for easy grilling.
  • Grill the Tomatoes Briefly: Grill the tomato wedges or slices for a few minutes until they are slightly charred and softened. This enhances their sweetness and smoky flavor.
  • Serve Immediately: Serve the grilled sea scallops and tomatoes hot off the grill, drizzled with the olive vinaigrette. Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.

Conclusion:

This recipe for grilled sea scallops and tomatoes with olive vinaigrette is a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The scallops are tender and succulent, with a slightly caramelized crust, while the tomatoes are smoky and sweet. The tangy and aromatic olive vinaigrette ties all the elements together, creating a dish that is both elegant and satisfying. Whether you're grilling for a special occasion or a casual weeknight dinner, this recipe is sure to impress your taste buds.
