8 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Zest from 1/2 small orange
Juice from 1/2 small orange
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1-1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley or tarragon
1-1/2 to 2 pounds large dry-packed scallops
Freshly ground black pepper Salt to taste
Put a cooling rack or wire grid on a rimmed baking sheet. Season the scallops with salt and pepper and arrange them on the rack on baking sheet. Put the baking sheet with the scallops on the grill grate and smoke for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and set aside. In the meantime, increase the temperature of the Traeger to 400 degrees F. Preheat for 15 minutes. Return the baking sheet with the scallops to the grill grate and roast the scallops until just opaque and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. The time will depend on how thick the scallops are. Do not overcook. In the meantime, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, orange zest, orange juice, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley. Simmer for 5 minutes. Keep warm. Serve the scallops hot with the warm citrus-butter sauce.
