How to Make Tequila Scallops
- Preheat your broiler or grill to high heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon lime zest, 1.5 ounces tequila, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, and 1 tablespoon grated ginger.
- Rinse 1 pound of scallops under cold water and gently pat them dry with paper towels.
- Place the scallops in a resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the marinade over the scallops, seal the bag, and refrigerate for 10-20 minutes.
- Thread the marinated scallops onto skewers (about 4-6 scallops per skewer).
- Place the skewers on the preheated broiler pan or grill.
- Broil or grill for 2 minutes per side, or until the scallops are opaque and cooked through.
- During the last 1 1/2 minutes of cooking, brush the scallops with any remaining marinade.
- Serve immediately over cooked rice, a Greek salad, or your favorite pasta. Garnish with extra lime zest and fresh mint, if desired.
