SPICY MANGO SCALLOPS
This sweet and spicy seafood combo gives off enough heat to make the whole family warm up to its great flavors! Be sure to buy the larger sea scallops for this recipe; cooking times would be off for the smaller bay scallops. -Nicole Filizetti, Jacksonville, Florida

Steps:
- First prepare the tomatillo guacamole, cilantro-lime rice, and mango salsa and set aside.
- Remove the tough ligament from the side of each scallop and discard. Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Season both sides of each scallop with salt, and cumin.
- In a large cast iron skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Allow the skillet to get as hot as possible without burning the butter.
- Sear the scallops, turning once, until golden brown on each side, and just cooked through, about 3-5 minutes total. Transfer to a platter and quarter.
- To assemble, toast corn tortillas, if desired, over an open flame just until slightly charred. Fill each tortilla with 2 tablespoons rice, 1 tablespoon guacamole, 1 seared and quartered scallop, and top with mango salsa. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- To make guacamole:
- Combine the tomatillos, cilantro, avocado, onion, jalapeno, garlic, lime juice, cumin, and salt in a food processor or blender and pulse until combined.
- To make the rice:
- In a small saucepan, bring the rice, cilantro, broth, rice, and lime juice to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Remove the cilantro sprigs and serve.
- To make the salsa:
- Combine the mango, tomatoes, minced onion, cilantro, chile, lime zest, and lime juice in a small bowl. Allow the flavors to macerate. Serve as a garnish for the cumin seared scallop tacos.
SEARED SCALLOP TACOS WITH MANGO PINEAPPLE SALSA
Steps:
- To prepare the Salsa: In a medium bowl add: cubed mango and pineapple, red onion and cilantro. Mix all ingredients and place in refrigerator for as much time as possible. For best flavor, salsa should be prepared a day early and chilled overnight. To prepare Aoli: Combine sour cream and all spices. Set aside. To prepare Scallops: Mix cayanne pepper with flour in a plastic bag and toss scallops in the bag until each scallop is lightly dusted with flour mixture. Over medium high heat, sear scallops 2-3 minutes on each side. During searing, brush scallops with a light coat of olive oil to promote browning. To serve, sprinkle cheese on warmed tortillas, place 2-4 tablespoons of the salsa on each tortilla and place 2 scallops on top of the salsa. For easier consumption, scallops may be sliced before being placed on the tortilla. Squeeze lime over the tacos and then drizzle the aoli on top to taste. Serve with tortilla chips and left over salsa for dipping.

Steps:
- For the shrimp: Place the shrimp, limes and onions in a resealable plastic bag. Whisk together the oil, salt, cloves, lime juice and chipotle in a small bowl. Pour over the shrimp in the bag and seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
- For the tropical salsa: Meanwhile, combine the pineapple, avocado, cactus, jalapenos and mangoes in a medium bowl. Add the cilantro, vinegar, oil and epazote and toss to combine. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
- For assembly: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and sprinkle with salt. Place the shrimp on the grill over direct heat and cook, turning once, until they are charred and the flesh is pink, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add the cooked shrimp to the salsa and toss to combine. Sprinkle with salt. To serve, whisk together the crema, adobo, lime zest and lime juice in a small bowl. Build the tacos starting with a corn tortilla, add 4 to 5 shrimp, 1/4 cup tropical salsa, a drizzle of the crema mixture and some cilantro leaves.
SEARED SCALLOPS WITH PINEAPPLE, GINGER AND LEMON GRASS SALSA
I'm still on my healthy eating kick to get in shape for the summer, but refuse to resign myself to just baked chicken breasts and steamed broccoli. This recipe was exactly what I needed tonight - something that involves a little bit of real cooking, fresh seafood, and a ton of flavor. I will have to keep this one in mind for the upcoming summer evenings. If scallops aren't your thing, try this recipe with jumbo prawns, calamari, or even grilled octopus!

Steps:
- Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the shallot and 1 pinch of salt; cook and stir until the shallot has softened, about 5 minutes. Stir shallot, pineapple, ginger, lemon grass, cilantro, honey, vinegar, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, extra virgin olive oil, and salt to taste, together in a bowl. Set aside.
- Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans, recover, and steam until just tender, 2 to 6 minutes depending on thickness. Immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the green beans are cold, drain well, and set aside.
- Heat the safflower oil in a large skillet over high heat. Thoroughly dry each scallop. Once light wisps of smoke are visible in the safflower oil, carefully place the scallops in the skillet. Sear the scallops until golden brown without moving them, about 1 minute. Flip the scallop and cook until desired doneness, about 90 seconds. Turn of the heat and remove scallops from the skillet. Toss green beans into the still-hot skillet for 1 minute. Serve scallops over green beans and top with pineapple salsa.

- To make the mango salsa, combine mango, cucumber, shallot, Serrano pepper, and cilantro in a bowl. Toss with lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside.
- To prep the scallops, quickly rinse them under cold water. Check each scallop for its side muscle. To remove it, pinch and peel it off with your hands. Transfer the cleaned scallops to a plate lined with a paper towel. Gently press a second piece of paper towel over top to remove as much excess moisture as possible. Season both sides with salt and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Pour in oil to lightly coat the surface. Heat the oil until it shimmers and you see first wisps of smoke.
- Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, place the scallops into the skillet, flat side down, and cook without touching or tossing until the underside is deep golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Use a thin spatula to gently turn them over. Cook on the second side until the flesh at top and bottom looks opaque but there is still a faintly translucent strip in the middle, about 2 minutes, depending on size. Transfer scallops to a plate.
