Blackstone Seafood Recipes
All of these recipes are cooked on the flat top. With a little prep and a hot griddle, you’ll want seafood nights every week.
Blackstone Sweet Chili Shrimp
Large shrimp tossed in a quick sweet-chili glaze and seared on the griddle until caramelized. Simple ingredients—garlic, chili sauce, a touch of honey or sugar—turn into a glossy, slightly sticky coating that clings to the shrimp. Serve over steamed rice or greens for a fast weeknight meal. Tip: pat shrimp dry and preheat the griddle to high so the glaze browns instead of steaming.

How to Make Fish on the Blackstone
A foolproof method for cooking almost any fish—salmon, halibut, lingcod, or rockfish—on the flat top. Laying lemon slices directly on the griddle and finishing the fillets with a splash of white wine adds bright, delicate flavor without overpowering the fish. Use medium-high heat, oil the surface, and flip only once for the best, flaky results.

Elegant enough for date night but quick enough for a weeknight. Scallops love high, even heat: a little sea salt and avocado or canola oil on a hot griddle produces a beautiful golden crust while keeping the center tender. Sear each side just until caramelized—don’t overcrowd the surface for the best crust.
