Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds fresh large scallops, side muscle removed (if very large, cut in half)

36 small fresh mint leaves

1 recipe Sesame Lemon Dressing (recipe follows)

1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds

Sesame-Lemon Dressing

3 tablespoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons minced shallot

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon soy sauce

For the scallops:

Prepare 12 skewers; if wooden, soak in hot water for 20 minutes. Skewer the scallops and the mint alternately.

Brush the skewered scallops with half of the sesame dressing.

Set the other half aside.

Light grill or broiler.

Place scallop skewers on the grill or broiler pan.

Grill or broil lightly for about 2 minutes per side.

Remove from heat and drizzle the remaining dressing over the scallops; sprinkle with sesame seeds.

For the dressing:

In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, vegetable oil, shallot, lemon zest, lemon juice and soy sauce.

Whisk in the hot water and set aside to combine the flavours.

I cooked the scallops on the stove top in a medium-hot saute pan, with a touch of the marinating liquid. I didn't have any shallots, so used some minced onion in the dressing. Also, no mint, so I snipped cilantro over the bowl when it was all finished.
