Cleaned, shucked, and shelled the leftovers from the boil (post #1238). Added butter and spices (lots of roasted garlic, mainly) and made up this seafood scampi (snow crab, mussels, clams, shrimp) over angel hair pasta. Yum!!
Well @pops might like this, pork chops marinated in pomegranate oil, spices, garlic powder, Scanlon oil, a bit of brown sugar and a small amount of lemon juice (tenderize), meat was tenderized prior to cooking. Pomegranate oil sounds odd but it seeps down into the meat and makes it soft leaving behind a very light taste.

Man that looks delish. Was it cooked on the grill or on a griddle? And, do you have a recipe to share?
It was on the grill. Wish I had the time to cook with charcoal and wood chips. No absolute recipe, I rarely work with a real recipe just kinda go to taste. All spices are just sprinkled over top, a bit of brown sugar and garlic powder as well go easy on brown sugar as it will carmalize and burn if there is to much so I try to "mix it in" with the oils so it doesn't clump in one place. As for the oils just add enough to smother each side of the chops. To tenderize them I used a meat mallet to break up the fibres and I added probably around a tablespoon in total of lemon juice for the 4 pieces i cooked. Lemin juice will break the meat fibres as well but don't add to much as it can have the reverse effect as well. Tenderizing the meat allows the pomegranate oil to sink down into the meat then when it cooks it burns off nicely leaving the light pomegranate taste
I'll probably do something similar to steak on a bun later so I'll make note of the recipe and ingredients then
