I followed this recipe exactly and found the 1 hour marinating time was too much for the scallops. t overpowered their flavor and the citrus "cooked" them a bit changing the texture. The shrimp turned out fantastic though.

I really liked this simple preparation for shrimp & scallops on the grill. I did sub Old Bay for the paprika. Served with lemon slices and several different sauces. Thanks for sharing, Lauren.

This marinade was wonderful! I have a few tips. First of all, get large good scallops. Ours were very fishy, but the marinade helped to cover it up. Also, the recipe calls for 7 tablespoons lemon juice-for me that was approximately 2 lemons. Be sure to roll the lemons with some pressure prior to extracting the juice. (this gets more of the juice out) I made the skewers on a cuisinart panini maker and they turned out perfectly. This will be our standard shrimp marinade from now on. (it'd be our standard scallop marinade too, but in small town Nebraska we can't really find "good" scallops) Try this marinade, you won't be disappointed. Oh, one more thing..I tried sauteeing a few of the scallops that didn't fit on the skewer. This did not come close to how they tasted on the grill. I have tried several other marinades from Allrecipes and find this to be THE best.

This marinade makes shrimps very yummy! Instead of scallops I added bell peppers and pineapple slices. I also added a tbsp of brown sugar to the marinade to add depth of flavor. The marinade may seem on the sour side but the shrimp don't turn out that way.

I'm so sorry, but this was awful. It was a bizzare blend of flavors and I'm thinking it was the Worsh. sauce. My husband agrees. :(

I didn`t have paprika but tried the recipe without it. 1st time serving was at a family get together and everyone loved it. Great flavour without hiding the taste of the shrimp and scallops. Everyone wants me to make it for the next family event.
