Blackstone Grill Scallops & Shrimp

If you're looking for a quick yet elegant Blackstone griddle recipe, scallops and shrimp will not disappoint.

Scallops and shrimp can be served for a satisfying lunch with a salad or pair them with a glass of chardonnay and you have a restaurant-quality dish that's both healthy and delicious. 

Are scallops and shrimp hard to make on the Blackstone griddle?

Not at all. 

One of the benefits of cooking this dish and other seafood on the Blackstone griddle is that the griddle has a lot of real estate to cook on.

A large surface area means that you can spread out your food and get a wonderfully browned crust on both the shrimp and scallops.

This is something that's harder to achieve using your stovetop and skillets.

How long does it take to cook scallops or shrimp on the Blackstone griddle?

The seafood cooks quickly. 

You can tell the shrimp's doneness when the flesh turns pink and the shrimp curls together. However, scallops are opaque so they don't really change color when cooked other than developing that gorgeous pan-seared brown on the exterior.

Cook the scallops for 2 minutes per side, flipping only once. The shrimp also cook for about 4 minutes total when cooked over medium-high heat.

You can cook this dish using medium heat but adjust your cooking times accordingly. 

Based on your preferences this dish can be simply seasoned with salt and pepper. I do enjoy finishing with a few pepper flakes and some lemon juice to make the sweetness of the seafood pop
