Directions

  1. Whisk orange juice, lemon juice, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and sugar together in a large bowl to dissolve seasoning into the liquid. Add scallops, yellow squash, zucchinis, and portobello mushroom to the mojito marinade, toss to coat.

  2. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.

  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  4. Thread onto a skewer a piece of mushroom, yellow squash, zucchini, and a scallop, respectively. Repeat so there are two of each item on the skewer, repeat with remaining skewers. Sprinkle fresh basil evenly over the skewers.

  5. Carefully remove tomato insides with a spoon, discard tomato insides.

  6. Pour broccoli with cheese sauce into a microwave-safe bowl, cook in microwave until broccoli is tender and the sauce is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.

  7. Stir broccoli with cheese sauce and rice together in a bowl, spoon into the hollowed-out tomatoes. Place 2 strips American cheese atop the mixture in a crossing pattern.

  8. Cook the skewers in preheated oven until the scallops are cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven to a plate, cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.

  9. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  10. Bake tomatoes in the oven until the cheese is bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with the skewers.

Recipe Note

Fresh and large scallops stew in a marinade of tangy Cuban 'mojito.' Two large scallops meet chunks of yellow squash, zucchini, and portabello mushrooms on a stick to form a kabob. It's sure to take you away to the tropics in the middle of your work week. Serve with a baked and stuffed broccoli-cheese tomato.
