• juice of 1/2 lime

How to make Grilled scallops with nori, ginger, and lime

1. Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice, a pinch of salt, and 15 ml of water; set the lime mayo aside.

3. Finely grind the nori using a spice mill. Transfer half to a small bowl for serving and set aside.

4. In a large bowl, combine the remaining nori with the coriander, ginger, and 30 ml of oil. Add the scallops and toss to coat evenly.

5. Thread three scallops onto each of two skewers. This will help keep the scallops in place and make them easy to turn. Repeat with the remaining scallops and skewers. Season both sides of the scallops with salt.

6. Clean and oil the grill grate, then immediately place the skewers on the outer edge of the grill so that the handles hang off the side. Grill the scallops, turning them with the skewers, until grill marks appear and the scallops are just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side, depending on their size.

7. Spread the lime mayo on a platter and arrange the skewers with scallops on top. Finely grate the zest from half the lime over the scallops, then squeeze the lime juice on top.

8. Finish by topping with chopped scallions and a sprinkle of Aleppo-style pepper and reserved nori.
