I just LOVE Red Lobster,s scallops cooked this way. I was so glad to find the recipe online since I bought scallops for dinner tonight. Putting here for safe keeping. Ingredients:
24 peeled jumbo shrimp |
24 scallops |
bamboo skewers for shrimp (soaked in water for 10 - 15 minutes) |
two-prong metal skewer for scallops |
olive oil |
24 bacon |
salt and pepper |
peach bourbon barbecue sauce (see below) |
peach bourbon barbecue sauce |
2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce |
1/4 cup ripe fresh peaches or 1/4 cup peach preserves |
2 1/2 tablespoons bourbon |
Directions:
1. Place shrimp next to each other on a bamboo skewer, leaving room on either end. Make sure to cover the end of the skewer with foil so it doesn't burn.
2. Wrap one piece of bacon around each scallop and place scallops on a two-pronged skewer so they don't turn.
3. Brush both sides of the shrimp and scallops with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. Place the shrimp and scallops on a medium hot grill. Keep an eye on them because they will cook quickly and you don't want to burn them.
5. Grill shrimp and scallops for approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Take them off the grill when they are about 80 percent done.
6. Add the Peach Bourbon BBQ sauce during the last moments of cooking or when the cooking is complete for added flavor.

10. Cool and blend in a food processor or blender until smooth.
