Recipe Instructions

Soak six bamboo skewers in cold water for 15 minutes; drain. Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl. Pour mixture into a large self-sealing plastic bag.

Add scallops and seal bag securely. Turn bag over so that all scallops are soaked in marinade.

Marinate scallops in refrigerator for 2 hours, turning bag once or twice.

Prepare the grill, and when the coals are hot, drain scallops, reserving marinade as a brushing sauce.

Thread skewers, alternating scallops with artichokes and ending with a tomato and an olive. Place kabob on grill rack, brushed with oil, about 4 to 6 inches from heat source.

Brush kabobs with reserved marinade. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until scallops are opaque.

Remove kabobs and set on individual plates.

Serve hot.
