Grilled Sea Scallop Salad Recipe
Here’s an interesting recipe for you to try. It’s a grilled sea scallop salad, served with a warm dressing atop mixed greens. The recipe serves four, but it’s easy to double up. Or, you could cut the number of scallops per salad and serve this as an appetizer for 8 to 10 people.

Chipotle BBQ Shrimp Skewers
I’ve tried lots of BBQ Shrimp recipes, but this is my newest favorite. Simple, but delicious with a little kick (or a lot, depending on how many chipotle peppers you use.) For grilling I find that Tiger shrimp, because of their large size and stronger flavor work best. Sorry I don’t have a picture, of these. I was too busy eating!

Cedar Plank Grilled Salmon
I’ve been wanting to try grilling salmon on cedar planks for a long time, but never got around to it until last night. It’s actually pretty easy, impressive looking and — thanks to some thrifty shopping — quite inexpensive. If you are not familiar with this technique, it involves grilling salmon directly on cedar planks, allowing the smoke from the cedar to flavor the fish.
First off let me explain that I don’t even really like salmon. Let’s face it, here in Texas we just don’t see a lot of salmon swimming up the Rio Grande. Likewise for salmon’s puny cousin the trout. When we eat fish here it’s bass, or catfish, or crappie, not salmon. And it’s not baked, or grilled, or broiled, or poached. It’s fried. Fried in corn meal or onion ring batter. Period. That’s fish. The smell of salmon on the other hand, just reminds me of canned cat food.

But the good news is that once mastered, cooks can cook virtually any type of fish without leaving half of it stuck to the grill. Here, then, is an article that presents 10 strategies for creating the perfectly grilled fish.

How to grill shrimp
I love grilled shrimp. The only problem I have with grilled shrimp, is that they are not fried shrimp. I feel guilty every time I eat shrimp that’s not fried, which I consider to be shrimp’s natural physical state. But, I give grilled shrimp respect too, and there’s a lot more you can dip, baste, and marinate them in than fried-shrim style cocktail sauce. This is the basic recipe for grilled shrimp, without any particular marinade. It’s good for applying your favorite sauce, adding to pasta, and so forth.
