Tangy Shrimp and Scallops

I love scallops and am always looking for good seafood recipes.  Enjoy!  This recipe makes me want to sing "Under the Sea," from the little Mermaid so hopefully that will explain the random photo.
Tangy Shrimp and Scallops:

  • 28 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 28 sea scallops
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 7 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  1. Place shrimp and scallops in a large resealable plastic bag. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and paprika. Microwave at 50% power for 1-1/2 minutes or until butter is melted. Stir to blend; set aside 1/3 cup for basting. Pour remaining marinade over shrimp and scallops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
  2. Drain and discard marinade. Alternately thread shrimp and scallops on metal or soaked wooden skewers.
  3. Grill, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 6 minutes, turning once. Brush with reserved marinade. Grill 8-10 minutes longer or until shrimp turn pink and scallops are opaque.
