Ingredients




2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 cup olive oil
cup fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove minced
cup minced fresh dill
2 Roma tomatoes seeded and diced
teaspoon salt
1 pch freshly-ground black pepper
5 lrgs sea scallops per person
10 one-inch slices uncooked bacon per person
2 red onions peeled, quartered,
and separated into sections.
5 one-inch squares green pepper per person.

Preparation

1 For the marinade: Whisk together vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and dill. When well combined, add tomatoes, salt and pepper. Set aside. 2 For the skewers: On wooden or metal skewers, beginning with bacon, alternate bacon, scallops, bacon, red onion, green pepper and bacon, until all 5 scallops are utilized. 3 Pour 3/4 of marinade over skewers, reserving 1/4 of marinade for basting. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes. Grill over hot coals or a hot gas barbecue 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Baste with reserved marinade each time skewer is turned. 4 Skewers are done when scallops are opaque in color and firm to the touch. Do not overcook, or scallops will become tough and stringy. 5 This recipe yields 6 servings.
