GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH GINGER LIME SAUCE
Ingredients
- 8 - 10 bamboo skewers
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp finely chopped onion
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 tsp grated lime peel
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
- 1 1/2 lb (0.75 kg) large scallops
- 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
Directions
- Soak bamboo skewers in hot water for 30 minutes.
- To prepare sauce, combine wine, broth, onion, ginger and lime peel in a frypan. Bring to a boil and boil until mixture is reduced by half. Stir in cream and continue to boil until mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup. Keep sauce warm.
- Preheat natural gas barbecue on medium for 10 - 15 minutes.
- To ensure scallops lie flat, thread them horizontally onto soaked skewers. Brush with melted butter. Grill scallops just until scallops are opaque, about 3 - 4 minutes per side. Do not overcook. Serve scallops arranged on top of a small pool of sauce.
