Grilled scallops scented with fresh bay leaves and orange citrus are unique, you just can't get enough of them, so addictive!
This makes about 6-8 skewers for the BBQ.
2 pounds large sea scallops, rinsed
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch fresh thyme
5 small oranges, cut into eighths
20 fresh bay leaves
1. Remove small muscle from sides of scallops, and discard. Combine juices, oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Crush a few sprigs of thyme, and add to marinade. Stir in scallops. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours.
2. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium hot, and place grid 4 inches above coals. Double-skewer scallops, alternating with orange sections. Tuck a sprig of thyme or skewer a bay leaf between each scallop and orange. Lay skewers in a pan, and pour remaining marinade over them.
3. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until scallops are opaque and lightly charred. Serve immediately.
Make a double batch and serve as a meal. Your guests will thnk you forever...so fabulous!
