Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Tbsp Ginger Root -- grated
2 Tbsp Orange Juice
2 Tsp Asian (Dark) Sesame Oil
1/2 C Peanut Oil
Zest Of 2 Oranges -- julienned
2 1/2 Lb Sea Scallops
Salt And Pepper -- to taste

In a medium-size bowl, combine the grated ginger root, orange juice and
sesame oil. Slowly whisk in the peanut oil. Pour the mixture into a large
Ziploc bag, add the orange zest and the scallops. Close the bag and shake
to combine thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least one hour or up to three
hours.

Prepare the grill. Hold two skewers parallel to each other, no more than ½
inch apart, and thread bout five scallops onto the pair of skewers (using
two skewers keeps the scallops from sliding off). Repeat with the
remaining scallops, putting about five on each set of skewers. Be careful
not to remove any thin strips of orange rind clinging to the scallops.
Salt and pepper to taste.

Cook on a well-oiled grill over medium heat, for to five minutes per side,
until cooked through.

Makes 6 servings.
