Ingredients

• 2 Tb fresh lime juice
• 1 Tb olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 lb sea scallops, as uniform in size as possible
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, stemmed
• 1 lime, cut into quarters or slices

Directions

1. Whisk lime juice, oil, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne together in a small bowl.
2. Thread scallops and tomatoes alternately on 4 skewers. Place on platter and drizzle with marinade. Cover and refrigerate, basting once with marinade, about 30 minutes. [Or place the scallops and tomatoes with the marinade in a sealed plastic bag, and skewer them after marinating.]
3. Grill or broil skewers, basting with marinade but not turning, just until scallops are cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
4. Place lime wedge on each skewer and serve.

Serves 4.
