Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh or frozen sea scallops

  • 3 tablespoon butter, melted

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • teaspoon paprika

  • cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion

  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 1 ½ teaspoon snipped fresh dillweed or 1/2 teaspoon dried dillweed

  • Lemon wedges (optional)

Directions

  1. Thaw scallops, if frozen. Rinse scallops; pat dry with paper towels. Halve any large scallops. Thread scallops onto four 8- to 10-inch skewers, leaving a 1/4-inch space between pieces. Preheat broiler. Place skewers on the greased unheated rack of a broiler pan.

  2. In a small bowl stir together butter, pepper, and paprika. Brush half of the mixture over scallops. Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until scallops are opaque, turning and brushing with the remaining melted butter mixture halfway through broiling.

  3. Meanwhile, for tartar sauce, in a small bowl stir together mayonnaise, onion, lemon juice, and dillweed. Serve scallops with tartar sauce and, if desired, lemon wedges.

  4. Makes 4 kabobs
