Scallops Bacon and Mussels Kebabs Ingredients

Temperature

• Oven: Low Broil.
  

Scallops Bacon and Mussels Kebabs Directions

Step 1. Cook the scallops in their own liquor in a small pan until they begin to shrink. Drain the scallops well and then pat dry with paper towels.  Scrub the mussels and remove their beards, then rinse under cold water.  Place in a large pan with about 1 inch of water.  Cover tightly and steam over medium heat for about 5 minutes.  Cool mussels and remove from shells.

Step 2. Take 8 wooden skewers and thread on each one by alternating scallops, mussels and bacon.  As you are doing this, weave the bacon between the scallops and mussels.  Brush with olive oil.

Step 3. Preheat the grill or broiler.  Spread breadcrumbs on a plate and roll the skewers in the crumbs.  Place on baking sheet.

Step 4. Grill for 5 minutes on each side until crisp and lightly browned.  Serve immediately with hot toast and flavored butter.

Flavored Butter

Combine butter with the minced herbs and lemon juice in a small bowl.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Toast

Toast bread in toaster on medium.  Cut off crusts and cut into mini triangles.
