Scallop Kabobs

Step 1

1. Thaw scallops if frozen. Halve large scallops. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside. For marinade, in a saucepan heat margarine and orange juice concentrate till margarine is melted. Remove from heat; stir in parsley, tarragon vinegar and mustard. Stir in scallops. Cover and let stand at room temp for 1 hour, stirring occasionally (or marinade in the fridge for 4 to 6 hours).

2. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl pour boiling water over mushrooms and green pepper. Let stand for 2 minutes; drain. Cut orange into 8 wedges, then halve each wedge.

3. Preheat broiler. Drain scallops, reserving marinade. On 8 long skewers alternately thread scallops, green pepper pieces and mushrooms. Allow at least 1/4" space between pieces. Place kabobs on the unheated rack of broiler pan.

4. Broil 4 inches from heat for 10 to 12 minutes or till scallops are opaque, turning and brushing often with reserved marinade. Add orange wedges to skewers during the last 2 minutes of broiling.
