Pineapple and Scallop Skewers

Ingredients

  • 2  tsp. finely shredded lime peel
  • 1/4  cup lime juice
  • 1/4  cup snipped fresh cilantro
  • 2  small green and/or red jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2  tsp. sugar
  • 1/2  tsp. salt
  • 1/2  tsp. black pepper
  • 1/3  cup canola oil
  • 16  sea scallops (about 1-1/2 lb.)
  • 12  large fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1  avocado, peeled, pitted, and cut into 8 chunks

Directions

1. In a small bowl combine lime peel, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, sugar, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil until combined; set aside.

2. In a large bowl combine scallops, pineapple, and avocado. Toss with 2 tablespoons of the lime juice mixture. Let stand for 15 minutes*, stirring occasionally.

3. Alternately thread 4 scallops, 3 pineapple chunks and 2 avocado chunks on each of 4 12- to 16-inch skewers.

4. Grill kabobs on a well-greased grill rack directly over medium-high heat for about 8 minutes or until scallops turn opaque, turning once halfway through grilling. Transfer kabobs to a serving platter and serve with remaining lime juice mixture.

5. Makes: 4 servings

6. Test Kitchen Tip: Do not marinate longer, or scallops will get tough.
