Instructions
 

  • Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees.
  • Drizzle the scallops in olive oil and sprinkle the spices throughout. Rub the spices into the scallops.
  • Load the scallops (and optional lemons) onto skewers or place them in a cast iron skillet and onto the smoker.
  • Smoke for 45 minutes to an hour or however long it takes to fully cook. The edge of the scallops should be white or light golden brown and the center should be opaque. Use a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 115-130 degrees. Some cook their seafood until it reaches 145 degrees.
  • Cool before serving.

Notes

If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Total cook time will vary based on the size of your scallops and how thick they are. Keep a close eye because smaller scallops will cook faster and may need to be removed from the grill faster than others.
