Types Of Seafood That Are Great For Grilling!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The great thing about seafood is that there are so many different types that you can grill! Here are a few of my favorites:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.      Salmon:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Salmon is a kind of fish rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for your health. When grilling salmon, I like to use a marinade or rub to add flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to not overcook salmon, as it can become dry quickly. I would recommend grilling salmon for 4-5 minutes per side. For better knowledge, check out this post on how to make grilled salmon.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.      Shrimp:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can never go wrong with grilled shrimp! I like to use garlic butter or lemon pepper seasoning when grilling shrimp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On average, shrimp only takes a few minutes to cook through, so stay away from overcooking them. You’ll know they’re done when they are pink and slightly opaque in color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.      Scallops:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Scallops, on the other hand, are a little bit more delicate than shrimp. The key to grilling scallops is to not overcook them. It’s best to use a lower heat when grilling scallops so that they do not become tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with shrimp, you will know they are done when they are slightly opaque in color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.      Tilapia:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tilapia is one kind of fish that is very versatile. It can be cooked in a variety of ways, but I think grilling tilapia is the best way to enjoy its flavor. When grilling tilapia, I like to use a simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and lemon juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tilapia is a delicate fish, so do not overcook it. It should only be grilled for 3-4 minutes per side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.      Lobster:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Grilled lobster is a real treat! I like to use a garlic butter or lemon pepper seasoning when grilling lobster. In general, you will want to grill lobster for about 10 minutes or until it is slightly charred and cooked through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now that you know what kinds of fish and seafood are great for grilling, let’s talk about how to grill them! Below, I’ll provide you a step-by-step guide on how to grill fish and seafood.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.      Choose Your Favorite Type Of Fish Or Seafood.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right type of fish or seafood is important, as different types have different flavor profiles. Pick a type that you know you will enjoy. When in doubt, salmon, shrimp, and scallops are always a good choice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.      Prepare Your Fish Or Seafood.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you have chosen your fish or seafood, it is time to prepare it for grilling. This may involve cleaning it, marinating it, or seasoning it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people like to use a rub or marinade to add flavor. Others simply season their fish or seafood with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.      Preheat Your Grill.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Preheating your grill is an important step in ensuring that your fish or seafood cooks evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure that your grill grates are clean<\/a> before you start cooking. At this fact, you may also want to brush your grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.      Place Your Fish Or Seafood On The Grill.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once your grill is preheated, it is time to place your fish or seafood on the grates. Be sure to oil the grates beforehand so that the fish or seafood does not stick. In general, you will want to grill your fish or seafood for 4-5 minutes per side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Close The Lid And Let It Cook.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After you have placed your fish or seafood on the grill, close the lid and let it cook for the recommended amount of time. Depending on the type of fish or seafood, this will be different. For example, thicker cuts of fish like salmon will take longer to cook than thinner cuts like tilapia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.      Flip Your Fish Or Seafood Halfway Through Cooking.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Halfway through the cooking time, flip your fish or seafood so that it cooks evenly on both sides. When flipping, be cautious not to lose any of the juices or flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.      Remove From Grill And Let Rest.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once your fish or seafood is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Doing this allows the juices to spread, ensuring that your fish or seafood is moist and flavorful. It also allows you to avoid the risk of overcooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.      Serve With Your Favorite Sides, And Enjoy!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After your fish or seafood has had a chance to rest, it is time to serve it! I like to serve grilled fish or seafood with a simple salad and some roasted potatoes. You can also get innovative and serve it with your favorite sides. Grilled fish or seafood is also great on its own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
