but make sure you soak at least 20 minutes in water to avoid them burning.

there is not right or wrong.

Just alternate the fresh basil (about 3 leaves per skewer); the oranges (about 3 per skewer); and the shrimp and scallops.

Simply divide them up so you end up with about 6- 8 skewers.

11
Don't worry if they are not the same, just put on what you like best.
-
12
NOTE: Make sure you do not crowd the skewers.

There needs to be a little room between the seafood, so they will cook evenly.
-
14
Grill -- Grill, or broil.
-
15
Brush when you first put them on the grill with marinade - both sides, and then brush again with the marinade a couple of times as they cook.

They won't take long.

Watch for the scallops to be firm and the shrimp to turn pink and start to curl.
-
18
Rotate a couple of times when you brush with the marinade.
-

Only 2-3 minutes per side.

Maybe 5-7 minutes is all they will take.
