anytime you got seafood and a grill and are stuck for ideas, think pig. Wrap 'em up in bacon, stick em on a skewer, you can baste them with a store bought asian glaze or just sprinkle them with a bbq or spicy cajun seasoning. Some people like to do the shrimp with some creamcheese around them first, then bacon. Thats great too. Just put em on the grill till the bacon crisps up, by then the seafood is fully cooked, thats it. Its simply but really yummy.

Take the abductor muscle off the scallops. Dry them off. Salt & pepper. Sear on a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes a side with just a little oil. Don't move the scallops once they hit the pan. Let then develop a crust, peek at one underneath should be turning golden brown. Remove from pan and add chopped garlic, lemon juice and splash of white wine to the pan with a pad or two of butter. Saute for a minute (don't burn the garlic). pour that over the scallops.Mmm,Mmm,good.
Try it with some avocado in the sauce. I use lemon zest in the sauce often also. Use whatever citrus you want. Use some dried spices like oregano or basil. Spice it up with some chili. Just don't overpower the light flavor of the scallop.
Serve them just like that or on top of some field green tossed with some lemon juice.

It's hard to beat bacon wrapped shrimp Itorna, but try half cooking the bacon first. I find it doesn't overcook the shrimp. Stuff them whatever you want. It's all good...

Here's how they do them at the restaurant I work at.

Grill the scallops to medium.
Rub with a liberal amount of jerk seasoning.
Serve with pepperjack grits.
Pretty darn good...
