Ingredients

  1. 90 fresh scallops (approx. 3 per person, cleaned and patted dry)
  2. 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
  3. 3 teaspoons white pepper (to taste)
  4. 9 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated
  5. 9 tablespoons soy sauce
  6. 6 tablespoons sushi seasoning (or seasoned rice vinegar)
  7. 3 tablespoons sugar
  8. 15 shallots, thinly sliced (or about 1 shallot for every 2 servings)
  9. Steamed rice or greens on the side

Method

  1. Place the ginger, soy sauce, sushi seasoning, and sugar in a bowl. Use a balloon whisk to whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Combine the scallops and oil in a bowl. Season with white pepper. Preheat a barbecue grill or chargrill on high. Brush with extra oil to grease. Cook one-third of scallops for 20-30 seconds each side or until just cooked through. Transfer to a separate bowl. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with remaining scallops.
  3. Divide the scallops and a little of the dressing among serving spoons. Sprinkle with shallots to serve.

Chef's Tip

Scallops with ginger and shallots are all about simplicity and balance, allowing the natural sweetness of the scallops to remain the hero of the dish. Quick high-heat cooking keeps the scallops tender and delicate, while ginger, soy, and shallots add aromatic warmth, savoury depth, and freshness. The light dressing enhances the seafood without overpowering it, creating a clean, elegant dish full of fresh Asian-inspired flavour.
