Scallop, Orange, and Cucumber Kebabs

GOOD TO KNOW Kebabs are a good way to incorporate vegetables into from-the-grill dinners. They also allow you to use a small amount of a high-fat food, such as the chorizo in the pork kebabs, to maximum effect. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for thirty minutes before grilling.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for grill
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 navel orange, halved and cut into eight wedges, plus 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
8 very thin slices peeled fresh ginger
1/2 Kirby cucumber, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 pound scallops, tough muscle removed
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat grill to medium; clean and lightly oil hot grates. In a small bowl, combine honey and orange juice.

    Step 2

    Dividing ingredients evenly, thread orange wedges (through skin), ginger, cucumber, and scallops onto four skewers, beginning and ending with orange wedges; season with salt and pepper. Grill kebabs, covered, until scallops are opaque throughout, 4 to 6 minutes, turning and basting with honey mixture halfway through.
