SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS

3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. yuzu juice
1 tbsp. minced scallion (white part only)
1 tbsp. red yuzu kosho
2 tsp. soy sauce
16 large scallops
1 tbsp. minced flat-leaf parsley leaves
Kosher salt, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine oil, yuzu juice, scallions, yuzu kosho, and soy sauce in a bowl and mix well. Put scallops into a small bowl and pour ⅓ of yuzu vinaigrette over scallops; toss to combine. Heat a gas grill to medium-high or build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill. Alternatively, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Grill scallops, turning once, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer scallops to 4 warm serving plates and drizzle remaining yuzu vinaigrette over scallops. Garnish with parsley, season lightly with salt, and serve hot.

Pairing Note: Earthy Sumiyoshi Tokubetsu Junmai sake from Japan's Yamagata prefecture stands up to yuzu kosho's spice.

Grilled Scallops with Yuzu Kosho Vinaigrette was the best.
Ordered the Yuzu and the Yuzu Kosho and this vinaigrette was unbelivable... Do not change anything with this recipe

I have a bottle of pure Yuzu juice I found at whole foods and a bottle of Yuzu Kosho - I want to try this recipe -- Is there anyone out there with more ideas on how to use these wonderful products?

Learn something new everyday. I've never heard of Yuzu Kosho before. Now I know.

I just know green Yuzu Kosho. Is this red one called Kanburi?
Yuzu is the fave of many chefs these days. But be careful to overpower the flavor of the dish when you use.

Olive Oil should be used over cooked or raw foods. At high temperatures it turns into a trans fat. Something most people do not know. Your recipes are wonderful but I always used coconut oil to cook with. I have included a link for your information.
