Grilled Scallop Skewers On Jicama Salad Recipes

SCALLOP SKEWERS

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix first five ingredients to make sauce. Assemble skewers by placing one scallop (or two-three bay scallops) and one piece of scallion on each skewer. (These skewers can be prepped a day ahead and kept chilled in the fridge, then grilled a few hours before party time and kept warm until serving.)
• Brush with ginger soy sauce and cook about two minutes per side or until just opaque. Be careful not to overcook scallops or they'll get a rubbery texture. Continue to brush with sauce throughout cooking.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN OR SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH JICAMA-ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Combine the cumin, coriander, chipotle, lime juice, honey, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and oil and whisk well. Pour over the chicken or shrimp, mix to coat well, and marinate for 30 minutes. Soak wooden skewers in water.
• 2. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Place the jicama in a medium bowl. Cut the peel from the oranges, then slice the orange segments into the bowl over the jicama. Tear the cilantro leaves and add to the jicama. Season with salt and toss to combine.
• 3. Remove the chicken or shrimp from the marinade and thread onto the soaked skewers, 2 pieces chicken per skewer or 3 shrimp. Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place the jicama slaw on a plate and top with the skewers.
