Pecan-studded rice pilaf and sautéed pattypan squash are great with the scallops, and lemon pound cake with sugared berries tops off the meal nicely.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon or 2 teaspoons dried
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
2/3 cup diced peeled mango
1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
1/3 cup diced sweet onion (such as Vidalia or Maui)
12 sea scallops
Directions
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Whisk first 4 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Transfer 1 tablespoon dressing to small bowl and reserve. Mix mango, bell pepper and onion into remaining dressing in medium bowl; season salsa to taste with salt and pepper.
Thread scallops on 2 skewers. Brush reserved 1 tablespoon dressing over scallops; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill scallops until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer scallops to plates. Spoon salsa alongside.
