    Ingredients

    • 12 large scallops, patted dry
    • 4 slices of pineapple, cut crosswise, about 1/2-inch-thick
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • Small red bell pepper, finely chopped
    • 1 large shallot, finely chopped
    • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
    • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, another 1/2 cup leaves, for garnish
    • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Method

    • In a small bowl, mix garlic, shallot, and jalapeno pepper
    • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until lightly browned on each side.
    • Turn the scallops over onto a plate.
    • Add garlic-shallot mixture, pineapple, and red bell pepper to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the skillet.

    • Serving Suggestions: Arrange scallops on each plate and spoon the salsa over the top. Garnish with lime juice, and add the additional cilantro sprig.
