Notes:
Be sure to use large, plump sea scallops rather than small bay scallops when preparing this dish. Take care not to overcook scallops, which can toughen if exposed to heat for too long; when properly cooked, they will remain tender and moist.

Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 16 - sea scallops about 1 pound total
- 1/2 cups - diced pineapple
- 1/2 cups - diced mango
- 1/2 cups - diced cucumber
- 1/2 cups - diced red bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons - chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 teaspoons - fresh lime juice
- 1 - jalapeno chili pepper seeded, minced
- - salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
In a bowl, combine the pineapple, mango, cucumber, bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice and jalapeno chili. Toss well to form a salsa. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a large nonstick fry pan over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with nonstick cooking spray. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Add half of the scallops to the pan and sear, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and opaque throughout, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the scallops to a warmed plate. Keep warm while cooking the remaining scallops in the same way.
Divide the scallops among warmed individual plates. Spoon the salsa over the tops, dividing it evenly. Serve immediately.
