Mamita's Mojito Scallop Kabobs
Ingredients
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 8 large large scallops
  • 2 yellow squash, cut into 4 large chunks
  • 2 zucchinis, cut into 4 large chunks
  • 1 (8 ounce) package portobello mushroom caps, cut into large chunks
  • 4 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 60 minutes
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil
  • 2 large tomatoes, cored
  • 1 (12 ounce) package microwaveable broccoli in cheese sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 slice American cheese, cut into 4 strips
Instructions
1
Combine orange juice, lemon juice, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and sugar in a large bowl to blend the flavors of the marinade. Add scallops, yellow squash, zucchinis, and portobello mushroom to the marinade mixture; mix well.
2
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
3
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4
Alternate pieces of mushroom, yellow squash, zucchini, and scallop on skewers; repeat the pattern to create multiple skewers. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the skewers.
5
Carefully remove the insides of tomatoes with a spoon; discard the tomato cores.
6
Place cooked broccoli, cheese sauce, and rice in a microwave-safe bowl; cook in the microwave until the broccoli is tender and the cheese sauce is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
7
Combine cooked broccoli with cheese sauce and rice in a bowl; spoon the mixture into hollowed-out tomatoes. Place 2 strips of American cheese on top of each tomato, arranged in a cross pattern.
8
Place the skewers in the preheated oven and cook until the scallops are cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
9
Reduce the oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
10
Bake the tomatoes in the oven until the cheese is bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with the cooked skewers.
