'If you can't find fresh sea scallops, use peeled large shrimp, leaving the tails on. Rice pilaf or orzo would be a good accompaniment. **I soak my bamboo skewers in a pitcher. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin) |
2 large garlic cloves, pressed |
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano (or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano) |
12 large sea scallops |
1 large lemon, halved lengthwise, each half cut crosswise into 6 slices |
8 bay leaves |
4 bamboo skewers (8-to 10-inch, soaked in water 30 minutes) |
Directions:
1. Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, pressed garlic cloves and oregano in medium bowl to blend; season with salt and pepper.
2. Add sea scallops and toss to coat with oil mixture.
3. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler.
4. Alternate 3 scallops, 3 lemon slices and 2 bay leaves on each skewer.
5. Grill or broil brochettes until scallops are golden brown and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
6. Transfer to plates and serve.
