Steps:
- Soak wooden kabob sticks in water for one hour. Remove, let dry.
- Place shrimp and scallops in a reusable plastic bag, then insert them into another plastic bag to prevent leakage.
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until the butter is melted.
- Stir and set aside about 1/3 of the juice for basting.
- Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp and scallops.
- Seal bag and refrigerate for one hour or overnight, turning bag over occasionally.
- Drain and discard the marinade - you will notice that some of the juice has hardened because of the butter...This is how it is supposed to look.
- Thread kabobs alternately using scallops and shrimp.
- Heat the grill, and place them on the BBQ uncovered, over medium heat, and grill for about 3 to 5 minutes per side, turning once.
- Brush each side with the remaining marinade.
- Grill until shrimp turns pink and scallops are opaque.

GRILLED SKEWERED SEA SCALLOPS
This has everything going for it - it's low-calorie, it's fast, and it's delicious. The scallops need to marinate about 30 minutes, which gives you time to rustle up a nice rice pilaf and salad to accompany it. Then throw on the grill and dinner is served!
