Enjoy! **The prep time includes marinating time!

1/4 cup light coconut milk
Juice of 1 lime
1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed
1 small clove garlic
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump, firm, and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Season the scallops simply with salt and pepper. You don't want to overpower the delicate flavor of the scallops.
  • Cook the scallops over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become tough.
  • Serve the scallops immediately with the garlic aioli. The aioli is a great way to add a creamy, flavorful sauce to the scallops.
