BAY SCALLOP CEVICHE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the scallops, 1/2 cup of the lime juice, and 1 teaspoon salt and set aside at room temperature for exactly 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• In a separate bowl, combine the cucumbers, shallots, scallions, avocado, bell pepper, parsley, jalapeno pepper, and garlic. In a glass measuring cup, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and the Sriracha. Pour over the vegetables and combine.
• When ready to serve, lift the scallops out of the lime juice with a slotted spoon (discard the liquid) and add them to the vegetable mixture. Stir well and spoon into the lettuce leaves for serving.

TEPPENYAKI SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Put a large skillet or a wok over medium-high heat and brush it with a little oil. When the pan is hot, add the zucchini slices in 1 layer and cook until they are lightly browned, about 1 minute. Turn them over and cook for another minute. Remove them to a plate.
• Brush the pan with some more oil and add the onions, squash, scallion whites, ginger, and chile pepper. Give them a good stir and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar. Add the edamame, cook for another minute. Remove them to another plate.
• Brush the pan with some more oil and add the mushrooms and garlic. Cook until the mushrooms start to release their juices and add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and remove them to a plate.
• Carefully wipe out the pan and brush it with some more oil. Add the scallops and cook them until they are nicely browned on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add the sake and cover the pan to steam the scallops and cook them through, about another 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve: Divide the zucchini and lay them across each of 2 plates in a neat diagonal row. Divide the squash edamame mixture into 2 even, neat piles on the zucchini. Cut the scallops in half horizontally to make 2 even rounds. Lean the scallops seared sides up on the pile of the squash edamame mixture. Top each pile with a piece of mushroom. Garnish with the scallion greens and drizzle with the remaining soy sauce and rice wine vinegar.

Steps:

• Toss scallops with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl, then thread 4 scallops onto each skewer.
• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over high heat.
• Oil grill rack, then grill scallops, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cool slightly.
• While scallops cool, cut peel, including white pith, from orange with a sharp paring knife, then cut segments free from membranes. Coarsely chop enough segments to measure 1/4 cup and transfer to a large bowl (reserve remaining orange for another use). Stir in lime juice, cucumber, shallot, jalapeño (to taste), and remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• When scallops are cool enough to handle, halve each crosswise (quarter if large), then add to cucumber mixture, tossing to combine. Marinate, covered and chilled, until cold, at least 1 hour. Just before serving, stir in cilantro.
