Grill or broil the fish, turning once, until just done, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for the shrimp, 3 to 4 minutes per side for the scallops, and 3 to 4 minutes per side for a 1-inch-thick salmon fillet (the fish should still be translucent in the center).Serve with the red-pepper sauce.. Notes.Fish Alternatives Feel free to use only one or two types of the fish and shellfish listed.

Other grilled fish that would be nice with the red-pepper sauce include halibut, swordfish, tuna, or mahimahi..A full-bodied, expansive wine such as a California Chardonnay is ideal with the meaty, flavorful shrimp, scallops, and salmon.
