As the scallops are marinated, it is not essential that they are fresh; frozen shellfish are fine for a barbecue (grill).

2. Combine the lime juice and zest, lemon grass, garlic and chilli together in a pestle and mortar or spice grinder to make a paste.
3. Thread 2 scallops on to each of the soaked skewers. Cover the ends with foil to prevent them from burning.
4. Alternate the scallops with the lime segments.
5. Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to make the dressing.
