  • 1

  • 2
    When ready to grill, place kabobs on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals; brush shrimp and scallops with butter mixture. Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and scallops turn opaque, turning and brushing frequently with butter mixture. Discard any remaining butter mixture.

  • Scallops are bivalve mollusks categories into two groups. Bay scallops, found only in East Coast waters, measure about 1/2 inch. One pound of these tiny, tender and sweet scallops contains about 100 scallops. Sea scallops are larger, less tender and less expensive than bay scallops. Measuring about 1 1/2 inches, sea scallops number about 30 per pound and are the best kind to use for kabobs.
  • To devein shrimp, use a sharp pointed knife to slit along the outside curve of the shrimp. Pull out the dark vein, then rinse the shrimp under cold running water.
