Thai-Spiced Scallops

- 12 teaspoon black pepper
- 23 cup sweet and sour sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil

- Place squash and carrots in center of foil.
- Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
- Bring two opposite ends of foil together; seal with a double fold.
- Fold remaining ends to completely enclose vegetables, leaving space for steam to build.
- Grill vegetables on rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium heat until vegetabls are crisp-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally.

- Transfer 1/4 cup of the sauce to another bowl for basting.
- Reserve remaining sauce until ready to serve.
- Rinse scallops and pat dry.
- Halve any large scallops.
- Thread scallops on four 8- to 10-inch skewers.
- Place kabobs on grill rack next to the vegetables for the last 5 to 8 minutes of grilling time, or until the scallops are opaque, halfway through turning scallops and basting once with basting sauce.
- Serve scallops and vegetables with remaining sauce.
