Scallop Kabobs Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + marinating Grill: 10 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

30 10 40

Ingredients

3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
Dash garlic powder
Dash pepper
1-1/2 pounds sea scallops
3 medium green peppers, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
2 cups cherry tomatoes

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Pour 1/4 cup into a large resealable plastic bag; add scallops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 20 minutes. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring 3 cups water to a boil. Add peppers; cover and boil for 2 minutes. Drain and immediately place peppers in ice water. Drain and pat dry.
Drain and discard marinade. On eight metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread the tomatoes, scallops and peppers.
Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until scallops are firm and opaque, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Yield: 4 servings.

The marinade was a little bland. I think I would add some red pepper flakes or maybe ginger next time.

Not bad but felt the marinade was a bit bland and missing something.

With no ingredients I guess it would be lower in fat, calories, carbs, sodium, etc.
