• Grill shrimp until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
• Remove seafood from skewers and arrange on plates, then drizzle with vinaigrette and sprinkle with cilantro.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH BACON, TOMATO AND SCALLION VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Put the bacon in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered.
• When the bacon is just about done, heat the canola oil in a nonreactive skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and salt and pepper and cook, stirring, just until slightly softened. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the skillet with the tomatoes and add the cilantro, vinegar, thyme and green onions. Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Set aside; keep warm.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling.
• Brush the shrimp with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using two skewers at a time, thread four shrimp on the skewers near the tail and head ends--this makes it easier to flip the shrimp on the grill. Grill until slightly charred and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
• Remove the shrimp from the skewers and top with the warm vinaigrette.

QUICK MARINATED GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Set up your grill for high heat by building coals evenly on the bottom of the grill.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, garlic, chopped oregano and 1/2 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then add the scallops, tossing to coat. Allow to marinate for 10 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the scallops from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting. Place the scallops on the grill and cook until charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and using the oregano brush, baste with the leftover marinade. Char on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve.

BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place shrimp and scallops in a shallow dish or bowl. Dress seafood with lime juice and zest, a generous drizzle of sesame oil, grill seasoning and hot pepper flakes. Wrap each shrimp and scallop with a half slice of bacon. Wrap each shrimp working from head to tail, pulling bacon snuggly around the shrimp. Wrap the bacon around the outside of each scallop. Fasten bacon in place as necessary with picks.
• Arrange the shrimp and scallops on a slotted baking pan, such as a broiler pan, to allow draining while bacon crisps. Bake shrimp and scallops 10 to 14 minutes, until shrimp is pink and curled, scallops are opaque and bacon is crisp. Shrimps may finish before the scallops.
• Arrange cooked seafood on platter and sprinkle with chopped scallions.

WARM SALAD OF SCALLOPS & BACON

Steps:

• Wash and dry the scallops and put them in a bowl. Mix 2 tbsp of the olive oil and 2 tbsp of the lemon juice in a bowl with a little salt and pepper, then pour over the scallops. Leave for 15 mins, until the scallops have turned white.
• Cut each strip of bacon in half across and wrap around a scallop. Secure with cocktail sticks.
• Whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp lemon juice with the mustard, honey, salt and pepper. Whisk in the remaining 6 tbsp olive oil until the dressing is thick, then stir in the capers and parsley. Divide the curly endive between 8 serving plates.
• Preheat a grill to hot. Lay the scallops in one layer over a lined grill pan. Grill the scallops for 3-4 mins each side, until the bacon is crisp and golden. Put three scallops on each plate and spoon over the dressing.
