Southwestern Spiced Shrimp & Scallops
Griddler ™ Function: Flat
Selector: Griddle
Plates: Griddle
Makes 4 entrée servings or 16 appetizer servings
1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cumin
1 teaspoon (5 ml) chili powder
1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) basil
1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) oregano
1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) paprika
1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) freshly ground black pepper
16 extra large (16-20 count) shrimp (peeled, leaving on tail shell, deveined)
16 large sea scallops
2 tablespoons (25 ml) extra virgin olive oil
fresh lemon or lime wedges
Place the cumin, chili, basil, coriander, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small
bowl and stir to combine – there will be about 2 tablespoons (25 ml). Soak four
10-inch (25 cm) wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes.
Rinse the shrimp; drain. Place on a triple thickness of paper towels and pat dry.
Remove tough muscle (also called "foot" – this attaches the scallop to its shell)
from the side of each scallop. Rinse the scallops; drain. Place on a triple thickness
of paper towels and pat dry. Transfer shrimp and scallops to a bowl. Drizzle with
olive oil and stir/toss gently to coat completely. Sprinkle with spice rub; stir/toss
gently to coat. Thread shrimp onto wooden skewers, putting the skewer through
the tail end to the "head", 4 shrimp per skewer (this keeps them from curling
when heated).
Preheat the Cuisinart
When hot, arrange the skewered shrimp evenly on one side of the griddle.
Arrange the scallops evenly spaced on the other side. Grill the shrimp until firm
and pink, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Grill the scallops until firm and
browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove immediately. Garnish with fresh
lemon or lime wedges to serve.
