Pina Colada Scallop Brochettes Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the pineapple into 1/2-inch thick slices. Cut the slices into 1/2-inch cubes and discard the hard pieces that come from the core. Set aside to drain on paper towels. Use the melon baller to make balls from the honeydew, about the same size as the pineapple chunks. On very fine skewers or decorative toothpicks, thread a blueberry, a piece of pineapple, a mint leaf, a melon ball, a piece of pineapple, and finally, a blueberry. Chill, covered, until ready to serve, up to 8 hours. Just before serving, squeeze lime juice over the skewers.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add onions and paprika cook until caramelized. Add tomato and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let sauce cool. Puree in a blender until smooth. Add hot sauce and set aside. Clean sea scallops by removing the small muscle attached. Peel the ripe mango and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place one piece of mango and one scallop on skewer. Season with salt and pepper. Lightly coat ingredients with oil and grill until scallop is medium rare. Garnish with sauce and fresh cilantro.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine nectar, coconut milk, and 1 teaspoon rum extract. Sprinkle pudding mix over liquid and whisk for 2 minutes. Fold in coconut and 1/2 of the whipped topping.
• Pour into pre-baked pie crust and chill in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
• Combine remaining whipped topping with 1/2 teaspoon rum extract. Top chilled pie with whipped topping and toasted coconut.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat the butter. Add the sugar and ginger. Stir together until the sugar dissolves. Continue to stir until the sugar starts turning light brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pineapple chunks, toss to coat, and saute for 2 to 3 minutes to warm the pineapple through.
• Scoop ice cream into each of 4 ice cream dishes.
• Remove the pan from the heat, and add the rum. Using a kitchen torch or igniter, flame the rum, tossing pineapple quickly to extinguish the flames.
• Pour the pineapple flambe over the ice cream, garnish with a maraschino cherry and a ginger cookie.

Steps:

• Put the ice, frozen pineapple, juice, coconut cream, and the white and dark rums into a blender. Blend until smooth and frosty. Pour the drink into 2 glasses and garnish the rim with pineapple slices.

Steps:

• Thaw scallops, if frozen. Halve large scallops (you should have about 20 pieces).
• Place scallops in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
• For marinade: In a small bowl combine oil, sherry, mustard, honey, and soy sauce. Pour over the scallops. Close bag; marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Drain the scallops, discarding the marinade. Thread scallops on long metal skewers (If using scallops and shrimp, thread a scallop in the "curl" of each shrimp).
• Grill on the lightly greased rack of an uncovered grill directly over med. heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until scallops and/or shrimp are opaque; turning once.
• (Prep time includes marinating time).

Steps:

• In a 2-qt. pitcher, combine pineapple juice, cream of coconut and rum. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled. For each serving, add a generous cup of rum mixture and 1 cup ice to a blender. Process, covered, until smooth. Pour into a chilled hurricane or highball glass. Cut a 1-in. slit into tip of a pineapple wedge; slide wedge over rim of glass.
