OK! Great!! now on to the cook!!

Gave it a shot last night with shrimp and scallops.

Started at 550, and heated up the new CI half moon, sprayed Pam on it, and got temp down to 400. Put on shrimp direct on grill, three minutes a side, then took off and covered with foil. Temp to 350, then put on scallops for two minutes a side, basting with melted butter/cilantro/garlic, and took off after time.(Basted the shrimp with it, too!).

Time for dinner.....and a few interested parties!!! (Save us a bite?)

Also a pic of the BGE home, the "B" porch! The front porch is the "A" porch.

The meal turned out super, with a little asparagus, rice pilaf, and bread. Yum!!!

I will invest in some of those double fork skewers for future shrimp cooks.

I never marinade seafood with lime or any other acidic fruit, unless I'm making ceviche others wise the cooking gets interfered with. When I do want citrusy flavor I use zest there's not enough acid to really get into the fod and brek it down but there's enough to make the flavours stick

Awesome, what time is dinner?

With you on that. I took Necessaryindulg recommendation and used fresh lime at the end of the cook. worked great!!

Made this tonight. It was incredible. For the marinade I used 1/4 of a cup instead of 1/2 a cup of lime juice. It worked out well and I didn't get any ceviche type cooking going on. I had it marinading for 1 hour in the fridge.

Those look delicious! Glad I have my phone in an OtterBox or it would have water damage from me drooling )
