Servings: persons

1 lb sea scallops
½ cup rice wine vinegar
½ cup sugar
¼ cup red currant jelly or ¼ cup plum jelly
1 garlic clove, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce or 1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce or 1 tablespoon hot chili sauce
2 teaspoons mirin
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
sea salt, to taste

1
In a small sauce pan, heat the vinegar, sugar, and jelly until the sugar is dissolved.
2
Add the garlic, Sriracha or Tabasco sauce, and mirin and simmer for 5 minutes.
3
Whisk the cornstarch and cold water together.
4
Add into the sauce mixture, whisking until thickened to a sauce consistency.
5
Remove from heat, add the cilantro and let cool for 1 hour.
6
Set up your grill for direct grilling over high heat.
7
Scallops are delicate so you want to make sure your grates are thoroughly clean, preheated, and well oiled or seasoned.
8
Otherwise, your scallops will definitely stick and tear.
9
If you are using stainless or porcelain grates, moisten a towel with oil and rub it on the grates about a minute before grilling.
10
Put the grates over the flame 10-15 minutes before starting to cook.
11
Place your scallops on skewers (if using wood skewers, they should have been soaked in water for 1 hour prior to threading the scallops).
12
To keep the scallops from spinning, use two skewers.
13
Season the scallops with a few pinches of sea salt.
14
Grill scallops over high heat for 2 minutes per side.
15
Garnish with cilantro and a drizzle of the chili sauce.
16
