Main Ingredients

  • ¾ pounds Fresh sea scallops (Bring a sweet flavor that’s simply irresistible.)
  • 2 units Lemons (Freshly squeezed for a zesty tang.)
  • 1 units Orange zest (Add vibrant sweetness along with freshly squeezed juice.)
  • 1 units Lime (Freshly squeezed to enhance the tropical essence.)
  • 1 units Ruby red grapefruit (Freshly squeezed for a delightful balance.)
  • 1 clove Garlic (Crushed to infuse depth and richness.)
  • 1 unit Jalapeño (Seeded and thinly sliced for the right amount of heat.)
  • 4 units Radishes (Thinly sliced for a refreshing crunch.)
  • 2 tablespoons Red onion (Diced or thinly sliced for slight sharpness.)
  • 2 tablespoons Red bell pepper (Seeded and small diced for color and sweetness.)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (Chopped (more for garnish) to bring fresh aroma.)
  • 1 pinch Salt (To taste.)
  • 1 pinch Pepper (To taste.)

Instructions

  1. Preparation Steps Clean and remove the small muscle from the fresh sea scallops. Slice them in half lengthwise, and set aside.
  2. Citrus Mixture In a medium mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed juices from the lemons, orange, lime, and grapefruit along with the orange zest. Stir together well.
  3. Combine Ingredients Incorporate the crushed garlic, sliced jalapeño, thinly sliced radishes, diced red onion, and red bell pepper into the citrus mixture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Marinate Scallops Gently fold the scallops into the marinade, ensuring they’re soaking well in the citrus juices.
  5. Refrigerate Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least four hours.

Notes

  • Marinate the scallops for a full 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and to properly “cook” the scallops in the citrus juice.
  • Adjust the jalapeño amount to control the spice level.
  • Use fresh citrus juices for the best flavor and texture.
