ingredients
- 1 lb sea scallops
- 2 medium yellow squash or 2 medium zucchini
- 1 1⁄2 cups baby carrots
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2⁄3 cup sweet and sour sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon Thai seasoning or 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon minced garlic
directions
- Thaw scallops, if using frozen. Quarter squash lengthwise, then slice 1/2-inch thick. Fold a 36x18-inch strip of aluminum foil in half to make an 18-inch square.
- Place squash and carrots in center of foil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Bring two opposite ends of foil together; seal with a double fold. Fold remaining ends to completely enclose vegetables, leaving space for steam to build. Grill vegetables on rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium heat until vegetabls are crisp-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Meanwhile, for sauce, in small bowl combine sweet & sour sauce, basil, Thai seasoning (or five-spice powder) and garlic. Transfer 1/4 cup of the sauce to another bowl for basting. Reserve remaining sauce until ready to serve.
- Rinse scallops and pat dry. Halve any large scallops. Thread scallops on four 8- to 10-inch skewers. Place kabobs on grill rack next to the vegetables for the last 5 to 8 minutes of grilling time, or until the scallops are opaque, halfway through turning scallops and basting once with basting sauce.
- Serve scallops and vegetables with remaining sauce.

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
