BEER AND SCALLOP KEBABS
Nice quick recipe for your next BBQ. Preparation time does not include one hour marinating time. The liquid marinade will give more of a steamed rather than baked texture. If you like spicy food don't be scared with the chili flakes, it will make the final step all the much better.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are firm and plump, with a briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong odor.
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Season the scallops with a simple mixture of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as paprika, cumin, or oregano.
- Cook the scallops over medium heat until they are cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
- Serve the scallops immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli or tartar sauce.
