Difficulty: easy Prep Time: Five Minutes Total Time: Under an hour

12 large scallops, muscle removed
Marinade
2 tsp lime zest
1/2 tsp chili flakes
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tsp unsweetened coconut

Mix everything, except the scallops, in a bowl. Marinate the scallops for 30 minutes in half the mixture. Reserve the rest for drizzling/dipping. Preheat the grill and coat with non-stick cooking spray. Remove scallops from the marinade (discard used marinade) and BBQ until they start to take on a slight firmness, but are not rubbery. This will take less than five minutes on each side. Check for doneness and cook further, if you prefer. Use reserved marinade as a dipping sauce/drizzle. Yield: 2 servings
