GRILLED SKEWERED SEA SCALLOPS
This has everything going for it - it's low-calorie, it's fast, and it's delicious. The scallops need to marinate about 30 minutes, which gives you time to rustle up a nice rice pilaf and salad to accompany it. Then throw on the grill and dinner is served!

GRILLED SCALLOPS W. PROSCIUTTO & HONEY MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE
I had never thought of trying one of my favorite Appetizer dishes (Bacon wrapped Scallops) with Proscuitto instead, I got the idea and the basic recipe frame from 'Everyday Italian' with Giada DeLorentis (Food Network) - and did some tweaking as well as adding the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce -- WOW, it far exceeded my expectations PLUS the Proscuitto is much leaner than fatty Bacon -- Buon Appetito!

GRILLED SEA SCALLOP AND SHIITAKE SKEWERS
Grilled shiitake mushrooms are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and pair nicely with sea scallops. I like to serve them with roasted broccoli, but roasted potatoes are a good choice too.

GRILLED SKEWERED SCALLOPS AND APRICOTS WITH HONEY-MUSTARD DRESSING
Steps:
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Whisk first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/4 cup dressing to another medium bowl; set aside for salad.
- Alternately thread 4 apricot quarters and 3 scallop halves onto each skewer; brush generously with remaining dressing. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until scallops are just opaque in center, occasionally brushing with more dressing, about 3 minutes per side.
- Add lettuce to bowl with reserved dressing and toss to coat. Divide salad among 4 plates. Top each with 2 scallop skewers; brush with any remaining dressing and serve.
Tips:
- Choosing the right scallops: Opt for sea scallops, which are larger and have a sweeter flavor compared to bay scallops. Ensure they are fresh and have a briny smell.
- Prepping the scallops: Before skewering, remove the side muscle from each scallop using a sharp knife. This will help them cook evenly.
- Skewering technique: Use metal or wooden skewers soaked in water to prevent them from burning. Alternate between scallops and apricot halves, leaving some space between each ingredient to allow for even cooking.
- Grilling the skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the skewers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the scallops are opaque and slightly charred.
- Making the honey mustard dressing: Whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Drizzle the dressing over the grilled skewers before serving.
Conclusion:
Grilled skewered scallops and apricots with honey mustard dressing offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The tender and juicy scallops pair perfectly with the sweet and tangy apricots, while the honey mustard dressing adds a touch of sweetness and tang. This dish is perfect for a summer barbecue or a light and refreshing meal. Experiment with different types of fruits and vegetables for a variety of skewer combinations.
