Ingredients

• 1/4 cup lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 12 sea scallops (about 1-1/2 pounds)

Preparation

Step 1

•In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Pour 1/3 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the scallops; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

• Place remaining marinade in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
