I've made these well-seasoned kabobs many times, even over an open fire, says Sharon Downs of Williston, Vermont. They attracted the neighboring campers.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
3/4 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 pound sea scallops
1 large sweet yellow pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 small yellow summer squash, cut into 1/4-inch slices
hot cooked rice, optional
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Divide marinade between two large resealable plastic bags. Add shrimp and scallops to one bag; place vegetables in the other bag. Seal bags and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
2. Drain and discard marinade from seafood marinade. Drain vegetables, reserving marinade for basting. On eight metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread the shrimp, scallops and vegetables.
3. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and scallops are firm and opaque, turning and basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Serve with rice if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
