Recipe: Grilled Marinated Scallops with Ginger and Sesame

GRILLED MARINATED SCALLOPS WITH GINGER AND SESAME

1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
zest and juice of 1 lime
24 large sea scallops
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
lime wedges, for garnish

In a shallow dish, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, ginger, lime zest and lime juice. Add the scallops, turn to coat and set aside for 30 to 40 minutes.

Build a hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.

Toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat until they turn one shade darker, about 4 minutes.

Thread the scallops on four metal skewers, placing them so that the flat surfaces are exposed. Grill, turning once, until the scallops are lightly browned and no longer translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds, garnish with lime wedges, and serve.
