For the best flavor and texture, use dry-packed bay scallops. If using wet-packed scallops, be sure to pat them extra dry. A wire grill basket is highly recommended for grilling bay scallops, as they are small and can easily fall through the grates. Do not overcrowd the grill basket. Cook the scallops in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking. Be careful not to overcook the scallops. They should be just opaque and slightly firm to the touch. Serve the grilled bay scallops immediately for the best taste and texture. They are delicious on their own or served over pasta or rice.
