Suggest a better description1. Combine pesto, olive oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Place scallops in a ziploc bag; pour in marinade. Make sure marinade is evenly distributed. Close bag; refrigerate, 30 minutes to 2 hours.
2. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in cold water for 1 hour to prevent them from burning while grilling. When ready to grill, remove scallops from marinade, discarding marinade. thread scallops onto skewers.
3. Prepare grill or grill pan for medium-high heat grilling. If using a grill, cook scallops about 3 inches from flame, 3-4 minutes per side. If using a grill pan, place the threaded scallops on a hot grill pan; cook 3-4 minutes on each side. (Scallops should be seared on the outside and just cooked in the center.) Plase skewers on a serving platter; drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.
You can find balsamic glaze in the grocery store with the salad dressings.
To make at home:
In a nonreactive saucepan over medium high heat, boil down inexpensive balsamic vinegar by half, or until it becomes syrupy and slightly thickened, but not burned. Store it in a glass container in the refrigerator.
