Scallop and Bacon Kabobs (serves 4, 4 POINTS each)

1 pound scallops

8 slices uncooked reduced fat bacon

1 medium English cucumber, sliced into 1/2 inch-thick rounds

16 medium grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes

1/2 tsp salt or to taste

1/2 tsp black pepper

Soak eight 10 - 12 inch wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes (or use metal skewers)

 

Place a grill pan in broiler and heat to high (or heat an outdoor grill to high)

 

To assemblekabobs, using 2 skewers held parallel, about 1 inch apart, thread the end of one bacon strip onto skewers.  Add a scallop and flip long end of bacon over scallop and skewer it into place.  Add a cucumber slice and a tomato; flip long end of bacon over tomato and skewer it into place.  Add another scallop and flip bacon over scallop.  Add a cfucumber slice and a tomato; flip bacon over tomato again and skewer it into place.  Continue process - threading on another slice of bacon when necessary - until skewer is complete with 3 scallops, 3 cucumber slices, 3 tomatoes and 2 strips of bacon.  Repeat entire process with remaining skewers and ingredients to yield 4 kabobs.  Season with salt and pepper. 

 

Place kabobs on grill pan and broil (or grill) for 4 minutes on one side, turn kabobs and cook until bacon is cooked and scallops just begin to turn golden, about 4 minutes more.  Serve with lemon wedges.  Yields 1 kabob / serving.
