Scallop Cocktail With Avocado image

A ceviche-type appetizer, but not a true ceviche because it's poached. A great special-occasion first course.

I'm not sure why, but my scallops didn't turn out as golden brown as the ones in the picture.

I would have liked the sauce to be a bit more flavorful. Maybe I'll add some more spices next time.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the avocado added a nice creamy touch.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scallops turned out tough. I think I may have overcooked them.

This recipe was a great way to use up some leftover scallops. I also added some chopped cucumber and red onion for a little extra crunch.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more spices or herbs next time.

I thought the avocado overpowered the scallops. I would recommend using less avocado or adding more scallops.

I used frozen scallops for this recipe and they turned out great! I also added a bit of lemon juice to the avocado mixture for a little extra tang.
