Bright Lime Sea Scallops And Sesame Noodles

When grilling scallops, threading them on a skewer makes them easier to turn. Three minutes per side is plenty -- don't overcook them!

Recipe Instructions

Place the scallops in a bowl. Combine the lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika. Toss over the scallops and let rest for 15 minutes.

Thread the scallops onto 2 or 3 thin metal skewers, leaving about 1/2 inch between each. Grill the scallops on an oiled rack over hot coals, 3 to 4 inches from the heat source, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.

Place a small mound of Sesame Noodles in the center of each of 6 plates. Top each with equal amounts of carrots, scallions and cucumber. Surround each with 3 scallops and garnish with a cilantro sprig and a lime half.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
