Steps:
- Make the tortillas: Line a large platter with paper towels
- Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium heat until it reaches 350˚ F on a deep-fry thermometer
- Add the tortillas in batches and fry until lightly golden brown and crisp, about 30 seconds
- Remove the chips with a slotted spoon to the paper towels and immediately season with salt
- Repeat with the remaining hot oil, tortillas and salt
- Make the relish: Mash the avocado in a bowl until slightly smooth
- Fold in the corn, sour cream, red onion, serrano (if using), lime juice and salt and pepper
- Fold in the cilantro until combined
- Make the scallops: Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large pan over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer
- Brush the scallops on both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil
- Mix the paprika, cumin, salt and pepper in a small bowl and season each scallop with the spice mixture
- Put the scallops in the hot pan, spice-side down, and cook until lightly golden brown and a crust has formed, 1 to 1 ½ minutes
- Flip the scallops and cook until just cooked through, about 2 minutes more
- To serve, put a dollop of relish on each tortilla chip and top each chip with a scallop
- Garnish with cilantro leaves and a squeeze of fresh lime juice
GRILLED SCALLOPS
Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice and salt. Place scallops in a large bowl, and toss with butter mixture. Let stand for about 2 minutes.
- Thread scallops onto skewers, or use a wire grill basket. Cook on preheated grill for about 4 minutes per side.
- Return butter mixture to saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and keep warm while scallops cook. Toss with grilled scallops and serve.

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.
