Ingredients and Preparation

Ingredients	Measures
Lemon juice	2 tablespoons
Olive oil	2 tablespoons
Fresh chives, chopped	1 + 1 tablespoon
Lemon zest	1 teaspoon
Salt	¼ teaspoon
Freshly ground pepper	1/8 teaspoon
Sea scallops	¾ pound
Cherry tomatoes	12
Metal skewers (or wooden skewers soaked in water for at least 20 minutes)	4

Directions
Prepare grill or broiler.
In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, 1 tablespoon of the chives, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Add scallops and toss until thoroughly coated.
Thread scallops and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers and brush thoroughly with the lemon-chive mixture.
Place scallop kebabs on a lightly oiled grill rack or a nonstick broiler pan. Grill for 8-12 minutes, turning regularly, until opaque in center and lightly browned. If broiling, broil for 6-8 minutes, turning a few times, until opaque in center and lightly browned. It’s easy to overcook scallops, so keep a close eye on them to make sure they don’t burn.
Garnish kebabs with remaining tablespoon of chopped chives.
