Scallop Brochettes

The marinade is a real compliment to the sweetness of the scallops. You can also make this with shrimp/prawns (or a combination of the scallops and shrimp)

• Ready In: 51 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  lb sea scallops (fresh or frozen)
• 2  tablespoons  cooking oil
• 2  tablespoons dry sherry
• 2  tablespoons stone ground mustard
