The salsa had a bit too much kick for me. Next time, I'll use just half a jalapeno. Still very tasty, though, and I'm planning to add little more of everything else to the leftovers to have with grilled tilapia. I read the other reviews so was prepared to cook the scallops longer than suggested or pre-bake. I opted to cook longer on the stove. I discover the prefer to grill scallops and will do that in the future.

This is so good I have walked away from the table to review it. WOW~! I added a bit of powdered ginger, reduced the cilantro, and added fresh basil to the salsa. I served it over whole wheat couscous, with a tossed green salad. I better get back before my family eats it all!

This was an excellent recipe. I loved the simplicity of the scallops. They were very flavorful with just simple salt & pepper - I highly recommend preparing them as indicated in the recipe. The searing method works best with the small-sized scallops, as larger scallops will not cook through. Like most people, I did modify the recipe to utilize ingredients I had on hand. I used 2 red chilies instead of 1 jalepeno and mixed yellow, orange and red bell peppers to make up the necessary 1/2 cup. I also used extra virgin olive oil to sear the scallops. The extra Chili pepper gave it a little bite, which went really well with a nice Gewürztraminer. It was even better after the salsa had sat over night. I will add that the prep time took a little longer, but that's because I chopped everything by hand with a knife.

I used this recipe as a party dish. There was plenty to go around. I added some crab meat to the dish and tossed in some red surf clams and everyone loved it. My buddy is allergic to peppers, so we didn't add any, but the recipe is great without it. The salsa taste great and tasted even better on top of homemade crab cakes. I used large sea scallops which I cut in halves, lightly covered in flour (with a lot of old bay) and seared them. I used some white fruity wine to deglaze the pan, mixed in the salsa and red clams to infuse all the flavors and poured it on top of the scallop and crab. Sprinkle some cilantro on top and served it with crackers and toasted breads. This recipe is a great way to impress your friends and to entertain with. The salsa is great for any seafood.

This is a great recipe for scallops!! Simple and delicious. Sweet and mildly spicy salsa over succulent scallops!! Yum Yum. Make sure you allow the salsa flavours to blend together for at least 1 hour before serving.

I used the little bay scallops because I was topping a salad w/ this recipe. I made the salsa as the recipe states, except for adding just a tbp or so of mango vinegar ( a recipe from foodnetwork) but I made a few changes w/ the scallops. I used olive oil w/ just a bit of butter to saute them in but first I added big slivers of garlic & let them cook for a few minutes to infuse the oil. Then I removed the garlic & added the bay scallops. I hit the scallops w/ Old Bay & chopped basil while cooking & then sprinkled them w/ lemon juice after I removed them from the pan. I plated a bed of romaine, drizzled it w/ the mango vinegar, added quite a bit of the salsa & topped it w/ the scallops, adding a few sliced cukes for interest. Hubby was very skeptical of this salad but had to concede that the flavor combo was superb. *rubbing my fingers on my chest in an arrogant fashion* LOL But next time he wants me to add a bit of mayo to the mango vinegar to make it more of a substantial dressing....I will for his, I thought mine was just perfect! Served this w/ a glass of white zin & for dessert, cherry limeade sorbet, drizzled w/ homemade cherry vodka & topped w/ a couple of frosted grapes. What a wonderful, light & healthy meal for a hot, summer evening...thansk for your contribution Robin!

Family wasn't too sure about this dish when they first saw it but thoroughly enjoyed it. I served it with rice and doubled the amount of salsa and it was all eaten. Will make it again.

Absolutely delicious. We served this with rice. I added mandarin oranges, lemon juice, canned pineapple and a bit of the juice from the pineapples to make the salsa. I also used a green pepper and thinly sliced green onions in the salsa. Thanks for the recipe.

This was good, but not as amazing as I expected. The salsa would have been better with more fruit and less bell pepper...but maybe I didn't measure well. The cilantro was fine for me--a cilantro lover. I grilled the scallops, but should have marinated them in juice first. Everyone cleaned their plates though! Good recipe that needs to be altered to individual tastes.

I recently used this salsa recipe to serve at my daughters wedding reception. It was absolutely excellent. Several people requested the recipe. The flavors all blend together so well and it is light, fruity and spicy. I actually added an extra jalapeno for more heat.

This one will impress! Great colors - great presentation! Great taste too! I like jalapeno's, but that could be left out if your diners are kids or don't like them. I'm going to make a big batch of the salsa and use it with less expensive fish like tilapia or cod or something and serve it to a big family group.

The salsa was really good. The scallops needed to be cooked longer than 2 minutes on each side, but I used an indoor grill set at about 390 degrees. It was more like 6-8 minutes on each side. The scallops were large ones from Sams club. I thought they tasted kinda bland ...could have used a little more seasoning for my taste.
