"Cuban mojito marinated scallop kabobs with yellow squash, zucchini, portabello mushrooms, paired with baked broccoli and rice-stuffed tomatoes."
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 0.5 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 8 large large scallops
  • 2 yellow squash, cut into 4 large chunks
  • 2 zucchinis, cut into 4 large chunks
  • 1 (8 ounce) package portobello mushroom caps, cut into large chunks
  • 4 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 60 minutes
  • 0.5 cup fresh basil
  • 2 large tomatoes, cored
  • 1 (12 ounce) package microwaveable broccoli in cheese sauce
  • 1.5 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 slice American cheese, cut into 4 strips
Instructions:
  • Combine orange juice, lemon juice, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and sugar in a large bowl, whisking until the seasoning dissolves into the liquid. Add scallops, yellow squash, zucchinis, and portobello mushrooms to the mojito marinade and toss to coat.
  • Chill the bowl covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Alternate threading mushroom, yellow squash, zucchini, and scallop twice on each skewer. Repeat with remaining skewers. Sprinkle evenly with fresh basil.
  • Gently scoop out the tomato insides with a spoon and discard.
  • Transfer the broccoli with cheese sauce to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave until the broccoli is tender and the sauce is melted, for about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Combine the broccoli with cheese sauce and rice in a bowl, then fill the hollowed-out tomatoes with the mixture. Place two strips of American cheese in a crossing pattern on top.
  • Bake the skewers in a preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the scallops are fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to maintain warmth.
  • Adjust oven temperature to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place the tomatoes in the oven and bake until the cheese is bubbly, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes. Serve the tomatoes with the skewers.
