Tip of the Week

Overcooked scallops will become rubbery. Cook over a high heat for a short time for best results.


1 pound sea scallops
4 teaspoons orange zest
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon ginger root, grated
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
4 whole wooden skewers

Soak the skewers in water. Stir together peel, juice, ginger, soy sauce
and garlic. Pour over scallops. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Drain scallops and thread onto skewers.

Grill for 2 - 2 1/2 minutes. Turn and cook 2 - 2 1/2 minutes longer.
