• 2 cups fresh whole-wheat bread crumbs
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• ½ cup very finely shredded coconut

Preheat BBQ grill.

Place the bread crumbs and coconut in a large bowl, then add your scallops one at a time, toss then until they are well coated.

Transfer to a large serving dish, garnish with lemon wedges if you like.

Serve immediately.

Grilled Scallops

• 3/4 cup butter
• 2/3 cup chopped onions
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 1/2 pounds Personal Gourmet Sea Scallops (approx. 20 PG Scallops)
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice and salt. Place scallops in a large bowl, and toss with butter mixture. Let stand for about 2 minutes. Thread scallops onto skewers, or use a wire grill basket. Cook on preheated grill for about 4 minutes per side. Return butter mixture to saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and keep warm while scallops cook. Toss with grilled scallops and serve.

Grilled Shellfish and Potato Salad

• 3/4 pound Personal Gourmet Colossal Shrimp (about 10)
• 3/4 pound Personal Gourmet Sea Scallops (about 15)
• 2 bunches scallions, blanched (about 1/2 pound)
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 pound fingerling potatoes or other small boiling potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

To make scallion oil: Chop enough scallions (including greens) to measure about 1 1/4 cups and in a blender, puree with oil and salt and pepper to taste until smooth. Pour puree through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on solids. Discard solids. Scallion oil may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

Bring oil to room temperature before using.

In a large saucepan cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1-inch and simmer until just tender, about 7 minutes. In a colander drain potatoes and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Pat potatoes dry. Potatoes may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Halve potatoes lengthwise. In a bowl, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Pat shellfish dry and in a bowl toss with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare grill.

Grill potatoes, cut sides down, on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until lightly charred. Grill shrimp and scallops 2 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through and golden brown. (Alternatively, saute potatoes and shellfish in a lightly oiled non-stick skillet in batches over moderately high heat.)

Spoon salsa onto centers of 6 plates and mound mesclun on top. Arrange shellfish and potatoes around salsa. Drizzle shellfish and potatoes with some scallion oil.
