What is the best way to thaw frozen scollops?

There are two main ways to thaw frozen scallops: in the refrigerator or in cold water.

To thaw scallops in the refrigerator:

1. Place the frozen scallops in a colander or on a plate in the refrigerator.

2. Allow the scallops to thaw for at least 6-8 hours, or overnight.

To thaw scallops in cold water:

1. Place the frozen scallops in a colander or on a plate in a sink filled with cold water.

2. Change the water every 30 minutes to prevent it from becoming too warm.

3. The scallops should be thawed within 2-3 hours.

Here are some additional tips for thawing frozen scallops:

* Do not thaw scallops in the microwave, as this can cause them to cook unevenly and become tough.

* Once thawed, scallops can be cooked immediately or refrigerated for up to 24 hours.

* Scallops can be cooked by sautéing, baking, broiling, or grilling.
