SCALLOPS AND MANGO SKEWERS



Scallops and Mango Skewers image

Sweet and meaty, fresh scallops are the most user-friendly of mollusks and make for easy summer suppers. Skewer them with bell peppers, red onion and mango, and they can go from grill to table in about 15 minutes flat. The trick to grilling scallops is simple: Err on the side of undercooking since an undercooked scallop is far more enjoyable than an overcooked one. Take the scallops off the grill before they're opaque all the way through.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable oil, for brushing
Large scallops
Fresh mango, cut into 1-inch pieces
Red bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces
Red onion, cut into wedges
Salt and pepper
Chopped cilantro and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Brush the grill grate with a little oil and put it 3 or 4 inches from the heat.
  • Thread the scallops through their equators onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternating them with mango, red bell pepper and onion. Brush with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill skewers until browned and release easily from the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Take the scallops off the grill before the interior becomes totally opaque.
  • Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Perfect as a light meal by itself or to serve with Italian bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar dip and white wine.

Time 41m

Yield 10 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups canola oil, plus 3 tablespoons divided
10 wonton wrappers
Salt, as needed
1/2 pound (U20) sea scallops, patted dry
Freshly cracked black pepper, as needed
1/2 mango, small diced
1/2 avocado, small diced
2 tablespoons coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
1/2 lime, juiced

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, bring 2 cups canola oil to 350 degrees F.
  • Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out the center of each wonton wrapper. Fry the wontons in small batches until they are brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with a paper towel and season each with a bit of salt.
  • Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons canola oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Sear the scallops in the skillet for 3 minutes per side.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango and avocado. In another smaller bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, hot sauce, and lime juice, and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper, to taste. Pour half of the coconut milk mixture over the mango and avocado and gently toss to coat.
  • To assemble, put 1 tablespoon of the mango and avocado mixture onto a fried wonton. Top with a seared scallop and finish with a drizzle of the coconut sauce. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and transfer to a serving platter.
