This is the the next in our series of BBQ Skewer recipes. This week we are featuring skewers made with Giant Sea Scallops! These are some great basic Sea Scallop Skewer Recipes that are designed to get you creative juices flowing! We have taken some classic recipes, simplified them, and added a unique twist! These recipes also make an “Assemble Your Own” Grilling Party a Hit! (Remember, vegetables are optional!)

Spicy Smoked Salmon wrapped Sea Scallops

Ingredients:
Wild Ocean Seafoods® Giant Sea Scallops
Wild Ocean Seafoods® Smoked King Salmon Strips
Tom Douglas Rub with Love Spicy Tokyo Rub
12” Bamboo or Stainless Steel Skewers

Prep:
Slice the Giant Sea Scallops in half, making two disk shaped portions, place in cold water with sea salt for 15 minutes to firm.
Remove Scallops from Brine & Rinse
Wrap with Smoked Salmon Strips around the scallop portions
Add to the skewer, using the skewer to pin the smoked salmon strips to the scallops, do this from the “side” of the scallop, leaving the scallops with two “open faces”.
Sprinkle the Tom Douglas Spicy Tokyo Rub on the open faces of the scallops on the skewer. There should be plenty of moisture to hold the spice. If not, dab a little olive oil on the open face of the scallops and then apply the Spicy Tokyo Rub.

Cooking:
Pre-Heat BBQ on High
Reduce heat on one side to medium, if using charcoal, move briquettes to one side
Place the Skewers on hot side for 1 minute per side to sear then move to the medium side and cook for 2-3 minutes per side (two sides). The skewers are done when the scallops are firm (not hard) to the touch. [TOP]
