   1 1/2   lb           Sea scallops
   2       tb           Olive oil
                        Zest of
   1                    Lemon
                        Freshly ground black pepper
   4       lg           Red bell peppers

  In a bowl, combine scallops, olive oil, lemon zest and
  ground pepper to taste.  Preheat broiler (or start
  fire in grill). Cut pepper in half lengthwise and
  remove stems, seeds and ribs. Place cut side down on a
  baking sheet.  Broil (or grill) until blackened, 6 to
  10 minutes. Transfer to a paper bag, close tightly and
  let cool for 10 minutes. Remove skins and cut peppers
  lengthwise into 3/4"-wide strips. If you have not
  already done so, prepare a fire in a charcoal grill.
  Wrap a pepper strip around a scallop to cover
  completely, overlapping the pepper ends. Secure the
  strip in place by running a skewer through the scallop
  and pepper. Repeat with the remaining pepper strips
  and scallops, dividing the wrapped scallops evenly
  among the skewers. Grill skewers over a medium-hot
  fire, turning once, until scallops are almost firm to
  the touch, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.  Alternately,
  cook under broiler about 3 minutes per side. Serve
  immediately.  MM Norma Wrenn
