Meal Preparation Processes
- To make the marinade, put the lime juice, olive oil and garlic into a large bowl with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
- Put the prepared seafood into the marinade (cut the scallops in half if they are very large) and stir gently until completely coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chefs in some restaurants may leave it even longer. Simply adjust to suit your taste.
- Remove the seafood from the marinade and thread on to wooden or metal skewers.
- Place the skewers on the rack of a grill pan and brush with the remaining marinade.
- Grill for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked and tender.
- Baste with more marinade if liked.
- To make the chilli butter, blend the softened butter with the chopped chillies until they are thoroughly mixed.
- To serve, arrange the seafood brochettes with a bed of rice and put a pat of chilli butter on top of each one.
- Scatter with chopped coriander.
Note :
- Take care when cooking chillies, as it’s most fiery variety of pepper.
- Remove them if you prefer seeds, since they are the hottest part.
