There are scallops and there scallops.  For some great information, check the blog (Margie’s Kitchen – Food is good) for Scallops – More That You Ever Wanted To Know.  We served this with Caribbean Salsa and a Fruit Salsa as an appetizer course.

Ingredients:

• scallops – use the larger ones (10 – 15/lb)
• 1/4 c melted butter or olive oil
• 1 Tab lime juice
• 1/4 c chopped chives
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Thread scallops on to 4 skewers.
2. Combine butter, chives and lime juice.
3. Brush some on the scallops.
4. Grill under a pre-heated grill or over a hot charcoal fire for approximately 5 minutes, turning often.
5. Baste with a little more melted butter while cooking.
6. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
7. Serve immediately.

Cooking tip: If bamboo skewers are used, soak them for several hours in cold water beforehand to prevent them from burning

Serves: 4
