Dirty Grilled Scallops

I learned this recipe watching Sunday sessions by Big Has! During BBQ season these guys are an absolute must! Ask your local fishmonger for the shells if you don't have any. Loads of different sauces you can serve on the side. I have combined 2 different sauces I liked to make a sort of spicy bearnaise.
