Recipe

• 2 combine next 6 ingredients. this is the crust for the scallops.

• 4 coat each scallop with the spices by dipping each of the flat sides of the scallop in the mix.
• 5 if you like using them, slide the scallops on skewers (should be enough for 4-12inch skewers).
• 6 lightly grease your grill rack or pan and grill the scallops over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes per side (less if they are not the extra-large). do not over cook!
• 7 remove the scallops from the skewers (if used) and serve over the cucumber relish.
