Ingredients

  • 10-12 Scallops patted dry
  • 2 tsp of Sea Salt
  • 2 tsp of Black Pepper
  • ¼ cup of Guinness Draught
  • ¼ cup of Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • Parsley for garnish
  • Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Pat your scallops dry and add a small drop of olive oil to each one (Pro Tip: Leave scallops with paper towel on top and bottom in fridge for 1 hour to make extra dry on outside). Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Preheat your grill or charcoal to high temperature (around 400F). Add your skillet over fire to preheat 2-3 minutes before cooking along with some olive oil.
  • Add scallops to the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on the first side. After the flip, add Guinness Draught, Butter and Brown Sugar to skillet. Let melt and baste over the scallops for 2 minutes. Once done, pull scallops off and rest.
  • Top scallops with some chopped parsley, pour yourself a pint of Guinness Draught and enjoy!
