Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 large pieces Sea scallops
- 16 large pieces Fresh pineapple chunks
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 8 pieces Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and gently pat them dry with paper towels.
Combine the scallops and pineapple chunks in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or broiler pan to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated scallops and pineapple chunks alternately onto the skewers, starting and ending with pineapple to help secure the scallops.
Place the skewers on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the scallops are opaque and have a slight char, and the pineapple is caramelized.
Remove the skewers from the heat and let rest for 1-2 minutes. Serve warm as an appetizer or main dish.
