Simplicity itself—and you can either grill or broil these zesty skewered scallops. Be sure to let them marinate for at least a couple of hours to develop flavor. The recipe comes from Eileen Weinberg of Good and Plenty to Go in Manhattan.

Seems like marinating for at least two hours in lime juice would really cook them ( like ceviche) and an additional broil for 6-7 minutes would produce scallops like rubber erasers
