Ingredients
1tbspraw honey(I like to buy local)
1large navel orange(or 2 small)
1tbspfresh grated ginger
oil for the grill
12jumbo sea scallops(about 1lb)
kosher salt and black pepper
double prong metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the ends off the orange, and cut the remaining orange into 4 1/2-inch thick slices.
Cut each slice into 4 pieces.
Squeeze the juice from the remaining orange to get 2 tablespoons.
In a small bowl combine honey, 2 tbsp orange juice and ginger.
Heat the grill or a grill pan to high. Clean grates oil well so the scallops don't stick to the grates.
Thread the orange and scallops onto the skewers, starting and finishing with the orange. Season with salt and pepper.
Grill about 2 minutes on each side, until the scallops are opaque throughout, then brush and baste with the sauce and cook 30 to 60 more seconds on each side.
