Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 pieces Sea scallops
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 teaspoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 6 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water
- 1 unit Cooking spray
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, wasabi paste, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
Reserve 1 tablespoon of the marinade for brushing during cooking.
Place the shrimp and scallops in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the seafood, ensuring it is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
While the seafood marinates, soak the wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during cooking.
Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray.
Thread the shrimp and scallops onto the soaked skewers, alternating between shrimp and scallops for an even presentation.
Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque, and the scallops are firm and lightly browned. Brush with the reserved marinade halfway through cooking for added flavor.
Remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy this Weight Watchers-friendly dish as a healthy, flavorful main course.
