Ingredients

• 16 large pieces Sea scallops
• 16 large pieces Fresh pineapple chunks
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 8 pieces Skewers (wooden or metal)

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 3

Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and gently pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 4

Combine the scallops and pineapple chunks in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or broiler pan to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Thread the marinated scallops and pineapple chunks alternately onto the skewers, starting and ending with pineapple to help secure the scallops.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the scallops are opaque and have a slight char, and the pineapple is caramelized.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the heat and let rest for 1-2 minutes. Serve warm as an appetizer or main dish.
