Grilled scallops with tequila, lime, and habanero pepper glaze

Preparation time 10 minutes

Total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 400 g package scallops (10–30 per lb.), thawed, rinsed, and patted dry
6–8 metal skewers
To taste, salt and freshly ground pepper
60 mL (¼ cup) Sensations by Compliments Spirited Mickie Tequila, Lime, Habanero barbecue sauce
15 mL (1 tbsp.) lime juice (about 1 lime)
30 mL (2 tbsp.) minced chives

Directions

Preheat barbecue to high.
Thread two scallops horizontally onto each metal skewer. Salt and pepper.
Place a strip of aluminum foil along front of grill to prevent skewer tips from blackening.
Place scallops on grill with skewer tips on aluminum foil.
Brush skewers with sauce and grill until cooked through and slightly charred, 2 or 3 minutes per side.
Using tongs, transfer skewers to a serving dish, drizzle with lime juice, and sprinkle with chives.

Chef’s secret

If you don’t have metal skewers, you can use wooden ones that have been soaked in water for 30 minutes.
