I have been experimenting with a few recipes that I found on Newman's Own web site and this one was real winner! Didn't calculate marinating time of one hour.

Steps:
- In a medium ceramic or glass bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, ½ teaspoons of grated zest, ¼ teaspoons of salt, cumin, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes (if using.)
- Add the scallops and marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour(remember the lime juice can cook the scallops if kept there too long and they may become rubbery.)
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add the tortilla wedges in batches and cook until golden brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Drain the wedges on paper towels.
- Peel, pit, and coarsely mash the avocados in another medium bowl.
- Stir in the onion, yogurt, and remaining lime juice, zest, and salt.
- When ready to serve, preheat the grill or broiler. In a broiler pan, cook the scallops about 3 inches from the heat until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- To serve, spread 2 teaspoons of avocado cream on each tortilla wedge.
- Top with 1 tablespoons of lettuce and 1 scallop, and finish with about 1 tablespoons of salsa.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

SCALLOPS WITH AVOCADO SALSA
This is an awesome accidental find that I came across on msn.com, credited to Food & Wine. I can't possibly express how delicious this dish is. Each component is wonderful- it's almost a three-for-one deal- one recipe with 3 things that you can make just on their own. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. Couldn't wait to share with you all!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine basil, lime juice, olive oil, onion, jalapeno and garlic.
- With rubber spatula, gently fold in the avocados.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Season the scallops with salt and pepper and cook over high heat until browned outside, but still rare in the center- about 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer scallops to warmed platter- keep them warm.
- Add water and tomatoes to the same skillet and cook over med-high heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom until the water has reduced- this happens in about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the tomato sauce over the scallops and serve with avocado salsa on the side.
- *Use the salsa and the sauce on steak, shrimp, with chips, in a sandwich -- the possibilities are endless!
