GRILLED SKEWERED SEA SCALLOPS

Grilled Skewered Sea Scallops image

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!
