Scallop And Shrimp Kabobs Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 lb tails-on shelled large shrimp
1/2 lb scallops
1 medium red pepper, cut into 1" pieces
1 medium green pepper, cut into 1" pieces
12 fresh pineapple wedges - (2" ea)
1/2 cup rice vinegar
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp minced ginger
3 tbsp lite soy sauce

Recipe Instructions:

If using wooden skewers, soak 6 of them in warm water for 15 minutes. This prevents the skewers from catching on fire while the kabobs cook. Then thread the shrimp, scallops, peppers, and pineapple on the skewers.

Prepare an outside grill with an oiled rack set 4 inches above the heat source. Combine all remaining ingredients for the basting sauce. Place the skewers on the grill and baste with some of the sauce. Grill kabobs for about 5 to 6 minutes total, turning and basting with the sauce while grilling. Heat remaining basting sauce until warm and serve on the side.

This recipe yields 6 servings. Serving size: 3 to 4 ounces seafood plus fruit and vegetables.

Exchanges Per Serving: 1/2 Fruit, 1 Vegetable, 2 Very Lean Meat.

“Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.”

~ Pearl Buck (1892-1973) American Nobel Prize winning author.
