Grilled Scallop Teriyaki Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup teriyaki sauce (your favorite)
    1/4 cup fresh lime juice
    2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
    1 tablespoon garlic, minced
    12 large sea scallops (1 1/2 lb.)
    1 cup broccoli floret
    1 cup snow peas
    2 cups napa cabbage, thinly sliced
    1 cup carrot, cut in matchsticks
    3/4 cup chow mein noodles (commercially fried and dried)
    1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
    1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts (optional)
Preparation
    Preheat grill to high.
    Whisk teriyaki sauce, lime juice, ginger and garlic together in a bowl. Reserve half the mixture for the salad; pour the rest over the scallops in a resealable plastic bag. Marinate 20 minutes, chilled.
    Blanch broccoli and peas in boiling salted water for 1 minute. Transfer to ice water, then drain. Toss blanched vegetables in a large bowl with remaining ingredients and reserved dressing (marinade). Add dressing a little at a time, tasting after tossing - you may not want to use all the dressing, as it can make your salad too salty (depends on your brand of teriyaki sauce.
    Grill scallops until cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side, brushing with marinade. Remove from grill and serve on top of salad.
