Seafood Kebabs

A high school classmate said she likes to have recipes that don't take longer than 30 minutes to prepare, so here you go Marsha. This is a quick and easy dish to prepare, and only takes about  eight minutes to cook on the grill.  You have to plan ahead a little, because you need to marinate the seafood for three hours or so, but the prep time is minimal.

Ingredients :

11/2 Lbs. Sea Scallops (16/lb. size)
11/2 Lbs. Shrimp (20/lb. size)
4 Small Cloves Garlic - finely chopped
1 cup Peanut Oil
1/2 cup Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Chili Sauce

Suggested Garnishes (Do not marinate)
Cherry Tomatoes
Red  and Green Pepper Slices

Preparation:

Place Scallops and Shrimp in a glass or metal dish.  Mix all remaining ingredients together and pour over the seafood.  Turn the seafood occasionally, and let sit in the marinade for about three hours in the fridge.
Thread  seafood on skewers, alternating with a few of the garnishes.  I like to use two parallel skewers per kebab, to keep the seafood from spinning on the skewers.  Thread the scallops so that the flat sides will lay on the grill.  Broil about 4 minutes per side on a medium hot grill.  Do not overcook !  The most common mistake with seafood is overcooking.  Serve on top of a bed of saffron rice or noodle -rice casserole.
