PINEAPPLE MANGO TANGO SCALLOPS SKEWERS

Steps:

• Pre-heat grill to medium high, and place grate at least 4 inches above fire.
• In food processor, combine 1 mango, 1 C pineapple, sesame oil, lime juice and zest and lemon pepper. Process until smooth, and set aside in small bowl.
• Combine lemon juice and sugar in a large bowl and stir until dissolved. Add scallops and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Thread four scallops per skewer with the remaining mango (cut into ½-inch pieces), pineapple and pepper, alternating evenly.
• Grill about four minutes on each side, until scallops turn opaque and have a bit of char to them. Transfer to a platter or individual plates and drizzle with sauce.

COCONUT CHICKEN AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
• Cut chicken into 3/4-inch cubes and place in a bowl.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Season scallops with salt, pepper and chili flakes.
• In a hot pan (I prefer cast iron) add oil. When the oil starts to smoke add scallops and watch closely to make sure its not too hot.
• Sear the scallops until golden brown on both sides, but only flip once.
• Remove and set aside on a plate.
• Next add the chopped garlic and cook for just a minute or two, then add the wine.
• The garlic and wine should start to simmer, continue this until its reduced.
• Then add the pineapple and stir around to coat.
• Pour it all over the scallops and garnish. Serve immediately.
• For the wine I prefer to use Alice White Lexia, its smooth and has more of a fruity flavor.

Steps:

• Fill 2 ice cube trays with the mango nectar; freeze until solid.

• Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
