Ingredients
  • 3 ears corn on the cob
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 1/2 pound cooked andouille sausage
  • 2 Tbsps cajun seasoning
  • kosher salt, pepper
  • 1 pound scallops
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 Tbsps vegetable or canola oil
  • Optional: lime wedges
Instructions
  1. Carefully cut the kernels off of the corn, dice the red pepper and jalapeno (removing stem and seeds), and dice the andouille sausage. Put all of this in a bowl with 1 Tbsps of the cajun seasoning, kosher salt, and pepper.

  2. Check your scallops to see if there is a small muscle band still attached on the side, if so just peel them off and discard. Then pat the scallops dry really well (this is important to get a good sear).

  3. Put the flour and remaining 1 Tbsp cajun seasoning, kosher salt, and pepper in another bowl and mix together.

    Toss the scallops in the seasoned flour, shake off all excess leaving a very thin coating.

  4. Cook either in skillets or the Blackstone Grill.

    Skillets: Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add a Tbsp of oil and the relish with the corn, peppers, and sausage. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring a few times. During the last few minutes set another skillet over medium high heat, once hot add a Tbsp of oil, place the scallops in the pan and flip after 1 1/2 minutes, cook 1 more minute.

    Blackstone Grill: Set the Blackstone over medium high heat for at least 5 minutes. Add 1 Tbsp oil and the relish with the corn, peppers, and sausage. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, flipping a few times. During the last few minutes add 1 Tbsp oil to another space on the grill, place the scallops and flip after 1 1/2 minutes, cook 1 more minute.

  5. Serve the scallops with the corn relish with a lime wedge if desired.
