Meal Preparation Processes

1. To make the marinade, put the lime juice, olive oil and garlic into a large bowl with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
2. Put the prepared seafood into the marinade (cut the scallops in half if they are very large) and stir gently until completely coated.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chefs in some restaurants may leave it even longer. Simply adjust to suit your taste.
4. Remove the seafood from the marinade and thread on to wooden or metal skewers.
5. Place the skewers on the rack of a grill pan and brush with the remaining marinade.
6. Grill for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked and tender.
7. Baste with more marinade if liked.
8. To make the chilli butter, blend the softened butter with the chopped chillies until they are thoroughly mixed.
9. To serve, arrange the seafood brochettes with a bed of rice and put a pat of chilli butter on top of each one.
10. 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.
