How To Make scallops w/ asian lime chile sauce

Step 1

Soak skewers in water 30 minutes.

Step 2

Pound garlic, chile & sugar to a fine paste with a mortar & pestle or in a small food processor. Stir paste together with vinegar, fish sauce, water & lime juice. (Alternatively, purée sauce ingredients together in a blender.)
Step 3

Pat scallops dry. Thread 4 on each skewer (flat sides facing out), then brush both sides with oil (2 tsp total for 4 skewers). Season scallops with salt & pepper.
Step 4

Brush a 12" nonstick skillet with remaining teaspoon oil & heat over high heat until hot but not smoking. Sear scallops, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 6 minutes total.
Step 5

Serve scallops with sauce spooned over.
Step 6

NOTE: Sauce may be made 1 day ahead & chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
