Grilled Seafood Skewers

This one is easy (like me) and takes minutes to cook. So it is good for hot days when you do not wish to be slaving over a stove. Make sure you use a firm fish. Delicate fish will cook too quickly, dry out and fall off the skewer
I like to serve this with a rocket salad and lemon wedges.


Ingredients
200g scallops
200g firm fish fillet (boneless)
1 tsp finely chopped rosemary
4 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Fresh black pepper

Method
Cut the fish fillets into as many pieces as you have scallops. Make sure they are of an even size, so everything cooks evenly.
Put the scallops and fish into a bowl and combine with all the other ingredients. You won’t need salt, because the anchovy will provide this. Cover, refrigerate and allow to marinate for as long as you like.
When you are ready to cook, make sure your grill is beyond hot.
Thread your scallop and fish cubes onto metal skewers (forget about bamboo skewers, they look ugly, are too small and can burn).
Grill on each side for about 3 minutes or until just cooked.
Makes 4 skewers or enough for 2 people.
