Cooking Intructions
- 1. Make the marinade. In a bowl, whisk together the oil, grated ginger, lime juice, chopped chilis, salt, cracked pepper, and sesame seeds.
- 2. Set aside a few tablespoons of the marinade to drizzle over the salad later.
- 3. Assemble the skewers Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes if using.
- 4. Thread the scallops, king prawns, bell pepper cubes, and red onion cubes alternately onto the skewers.
- 5. Marinate the skewers Lay the assembled skewers on a tray or dish.
- 6. Spoon or brush the marinade over all sides of the skewers. Let them sit for 15–30 minutes to absorb the flavours.
- 7. Grill the skewers Preheat a grill or BBQ to medium-high heat.
- 8. Grill the skewers for 2–3 minutes per side, brushing with any leftover marinade (except what you reserved for the salad). Cook until the scallops are opaque and the prawns are pink with a slight char.
- 9. Prepare the salad In a large bowl, combine baby gem, spinach, rocket, watercress, chopped red onions, orange wedges, and pomegranate seeds.
- 10. Just before serving, drizzle over the reserved marinade for an extra hit of fresh, zingy flavour. Toss lightly. Serve Serve the hot skewers with the crisp salad on the side. Add extra lime wedges if you like.
