Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for scallops on the Traeger grill.

Select large scallops, preferably 10 or 12 count, and mention the importance of size and freshness.

Season the scallops with rub-a-dub and fishy fishy seasoning, ensuring not to overpower the scallop flavor.

Preheat the Traeger grill to 500 degrees Fahrenheit with a cold cast iron skillet inside to absorb heat.

Add olive oil to the heated cast iron skillet.

Let the scallops soak in the seasoning for about 10 minutes while the grill heats up.

Add butter to the cast iron skillet before placing the scallops in it.

Carefully place the scallops flat in the skillet, avoiding overcrowding.

Close the grill and cook the scallops for 4 to 5 minutes per side, aiming for an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Check the internal temperature of the scallops, aiming for around 145 degrees, and remove them from the grill once done.

Finish the scallops with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and optionally drizzle with fire honey before serving.
