Ingredients:

18    large         sea scallops
2     tablespoons   fresh lime juice
2     tablespoons   extra-virgin olive oil
                    Salt
                    Freshly-ground black pepper
1     pinch         paprika
                    Sesame Noodles
                    prepared in advance
                    === GARNISHES ===
2                   carrots
                    cut 3"-long matchstick pieces
4                   scallions, about 3" of green left on
                    matchstick pieces
1/2                 hothouse (seedless) cucumber
                    seeded, cut 3"-long matchstick pieces
6                   fresh cilantro sprigs
3                   limes

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Place the scallops in a bowl. Combine the lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika. Toss over the scallops and let rest for 15 minutes.
Thread the scallops onto 2 or 3 thin metal skewers, leaving about 1/2 inch between each. Grill the scallops on an oiled rack over hot coals, 3 to 4 inches from the heat source, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
Place a small mound of Sesame Noodles in the center of each of 6 plates. Top each with equal amounts of carrots, scallions and cucumber. Surround each with 3 scallops and garnish with a cilantro sprig and a lime half.
This recipe yields 6 servings.

Comments: When grilling scallops, threading them on a skewer makes them easier to turn. Three minutes per side is plenty -- don't overcook them!
