Skewered Scallops
Scallops are fast food!
These sweet, succulent, toothsome tidbits smelling of the ocean are too delicious to eat only on special occasions.
Scallops are fast food. If you cook them too long they will become rubbery and inedible.
Bay scallops must be very fast. Smaller bay scallops are usually quickly cooked in a fast stir-fry, or in a sauce for pasta, or in a soup.
This recipe is unusual in that the little scallops are skewered, sauced, and broiled.
The scallops are fine served at room temperature so would make a nice appetizer or snack with drinks.
