Instructions

  • Using two parallel skewers, bisect one Scallop followed by one Prawn, matching the natural curve of the Shrimp so it hugs the top edge of the Scallop below it. Add another Scallop and Prawn in this way until all 6 pieces are flat and nested.
  • Marinate in Why not Take Olive Me & Herb Marinade for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • On a hot flat griddle or large sauté pan, cook Scallops and Prawns on their skewers until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
  • In a mixing bowl, place salad greens, cashews, tomatoes, avocado and Feta, and toss with Duke’s Sinful Citrus Vinaigrette. Top with Scallops and Prawns Skewer.

Sinful Citrus Vinaigrette

  • Place egg in food processor and blend for 2 minutes until frothy. While mixing, blend in garlic and basil until smooth. Add salt and pepper. In a thin, constant stream, slowly add olive oil (too fast and the dressing will separate). Add lemon juice and mix just until smooth. This dressing can be prepared up to 2 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.

Why Not Take Olive Me & Herb Marinade

  • Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
