Steps:
- Preheat your gas or charcoal grill to a hot to medium hot level. You want your fire to be just under the hot level but not to the medium hot level yet.
- Meanwhile, allow your scallops to come to room temp while your prepare the vinaigrette.
- Combine the vinegar, honey, mustard, and oil in a bowl and whisk together with a fork. If it does not whisk together well just pop it into the microwave for about 30 seconds. Warming makes the honey mix more easily with the other ingredients.
- Pour half the vinaigrette into a small serving bowl. Set aside. Toss the scallops with the remaining vinaigrette, remove them from the bowl, and season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
- The grilling has to be done very quickly. Grill the scallops for a minute or two on one side then throw the black peppercorns onto the hottest part of the fire. (This really only works on a charcoal fire. You could try putting the peppercorns in foil with the top open and place the packet on the hottest part of the grill. Put the packet on as soon as you start your gas grill) Allow the scallops to cook for about 2 or 3 minutes more.
- Turn the scallops and allow them to cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on this side, then remove them and serve immediately using the remaining vinaigrette as a salad dressing for the greens.
- NOTE: You could do the same with shrimp or half shrimp and half scallops. Please adjust your time with the size of your seafood.
- One MORE NOTE: Please allow your ingredients to warm up to room temp before placing on the grill for more accurate cooking times. Thanks!

Tips:
- Choose high-quality scallops: Look for plump, opaque scallops with a slightly briny smell. Avoid any scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Pat the scallops dry before cooking: This will help to prevent them from steaming and will allow them to brown better.
- Use a hot grill: The scallops should be cooked over high heat to get a nice sear. If your grill is not hot enough, the scallops will not brown properly and will be tough.
- Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side: This will ensure that they are cooked through without becoming overcooked.
- Baste the scallops with lemon-pepper butter while they are cooking: This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Lemon-pepper grilled scallops are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a special occasion dinner. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or pasta.
