Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large frozen scallops thawed
  • 2 Fresh broccoli heads washed and chopped (or frozen florets thawed)
  • 1 tsp chili lime seasoning found at Trader Joes
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning mix
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp butter cut into quarters (or you can use olive oil)
  • 1 can of chicken broth
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Create the Foil Packets:

  • Cut 3-4 foil pieces into 14 x 10 inch sections.
  • Lay them out separately on the counter.

Season the Scallops:

  • Set oven temperature at 425° degrees F.
  • Add scallops to a medium mixing bowl.
  • Coat the scallops with chili lime seasoning, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper.
  • Evenly separate the broccoli and scallops and add them to each foil rectangle.
  • Add garlic and butter evenly on each packet.
  • Drizzle 1-2 tbsp of chicken broth over the broccoli in each packet.
  • Fold the packet long ways over the broccoli and scallops. then fold in the ends lightly. Do not seal the packet super tight you want it to have a vent.
  • Add the packets to a large sheet pan and place them in the oven.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes. Check the scallops so as not to over cook them. The broccoli may still be too tough if so you can remove the scallops and place the broccoli back in for 5 minutes. We like our broccoli semi-tough/steamed and 15 minutes was perfect.
  • Grill This Recipe: Preheat grill to med-high heat and place packets on the grates of the grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes.

Notes

Make this recipe your own:

Feel free to use your own favorite flavorings, like Old Bay Seasoning, or cajun seasonings. Add a squeeze of lemon or lime to the packets.
Try adding white wine instead of chicken broth or drizzle with olive oil instead of butter.
You could cook shrimp and scallops together and then the broccoli separate so you can cook it a bit longer.
