Tender scallops and juicy pineapple are flavored with a zesty marinade
of lime juice, jalapeno peppers, and cilantro.
Prep: 20 minutes
Grill: 8 minutes
Servings: 4

2 tsp finely shredded lime peel
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro
2 small green and/or red jalapeƱo pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/3 cup canola oil
16 sea scallops (about 1-1/2 lb.)
12 large fresh pineapple chunks
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and cut into 8 chunks

1. In a small bowl combine lime peel, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno,
sugar, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil until combined; set aside.

2. In a large bowl combine scallops, pineapple, and avocado. Toss with
2 tablespoons of the lime juice mixture. Let stand for 15 minutes*,
stirring occasionally.

3. Alternately thread 4 scallops, 3 pineapple chunks and 2 avocado chunks
on each of 4 12- to 16-inch skewers.

4. Grill kabobs on a well-greased grill rack directly over medium-high
heat for about 8 minutes or until scallops turn opaque, turning once
halfway through grilling. Transfer kabobs to a serving platter and serve
with remaining lime juice mixture.

Test Kitchen Tip:
Do not marinate longer, or scallops will get tough.
