Ingredients

Marinade:

4 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons lemon juice

3 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

salt and pepper to taste

12-16 large sea scallops

Honey Tips

Honey Never Spoils

No need to refrigerate it. It can be stored unopened, indefinitely, at room temperature in a dry cupboard.

Directions

Whisk together marinade ingredients. Heat grill. Meanwhile add scallops to marinade and let sit for 10 minutes. Remove scallops and transfer marinade to a small saucepan. Bring marinade to a boil. Remove from heat. Use to baste scallops and vegetables during grilling.
*Hold two skewers parallel with one another. Thread 3-4 scallops onto each set, making sure that both skewers pierce each scallop. Alternate the scallops with zucchini rounds, pepper squares and cherry tomatoes. Brush with marinade and grill, basting and turning until scallops are cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side.
*Using two skewers keeps scallops from spinning around when you turn them over.
