Vietnamese Grilled Scallops

Vietnamese Street Food – Grilled Scallops Recipe

The streets of Vietnam are filled with the smell of charcoal and great meats, but one of my top faves are the garlicky grilled scallops. 🤤

Ingredients:

12 Fresh scallops in the shell (cleaned)
2 tbsp neutral oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
1/2 tbsp grated ginger
1 tsp chicken bouillon powder

For Garnish after Grilling:
Crushed roasted peanuts
Crispy shallots

Sweet-Sour-Spicy Fish Sauce (nước chấm):
3 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp water
1 bird’s eye chili, minced
1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions

Heat oil until shimmering, then pour over the garlic, green onion, ginger, and bouillon in a heatproof bowl. Stir and set aside.

Spoon the hot oil mixture over each scallop.

Grill scallops over charcoal until just cooked and lightly charred—about 3-4 minutes (also depends on the size of the scallops).

Drizzle with nước chấm, then top with crushed peanuts and crispy shallots.

Serve immediately—preferably with fingers and a cold drink (beer).
