Instructions

  1. Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Brush corn with 1 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt, pepper and a sprinkle with chili powder. Grill, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred in spots, 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool, then cut kernels from cobs. Combine all the remaining ingredients in bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Preheat grill. Brush scallops with oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the scallops for 2 minutes on each side until grill marks appear.
  3. Arrange the corn salad on a large serving platter and nestle the cook scallops on top. Garnish with extra cilantro and/or chives.

Notes

  • There are a few rules to remember when you’re making scallops. 1: you want to purchase them with the side muscle is still intact and remove it from each scallop. 2: You don’t want to overcook scallops, that means high heat for 2-3 minutes per side TOPS! and 3: don’t futz with scallop and flip multiple times. You want them to have a nice crust on each side so let them cook, get that sear, and then flip.
