Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large pieces Scallops
- 1 medium-sized (cut into 1-inch cubes) Pineapple
- 1 large (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes) Mango
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 pieces (soaked in water for 30 minutes) Wooden skewers
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and lightly sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and olive oil to create the marinade.
Gently toss the scallops in half of the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting later.
Assemble the skewers by alternating scallops, pineapple cubes, and mango cubes. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or surface to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side or until the scallops are opaque and cooked through. Baste the skewers with the reserved marinade during cooking for extra flavor.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Optional: Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro for added brightness and serve immediately.
