A hint of Maya and a hint of the south Pacific combine to create a wonderful summer starter! You want lots of lime juice in there! It matches so well with chile pepper and mango. If you can't find mangoes, guava fruit also works well!

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 potatoes, thinly sliced
olive oil
1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 mango - peeled, seeded, and diced
1 Spanish onion, minced
2 fresh chives, minced
1 tomato, chopped
1 small fresh red chile pepper, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 limes, juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 scallops

Steps:

  • Arrange the potato slices on a large plate. Cook in microwave on High until tender about 3 minutes.
  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes to the skillet, season with the salt and pepper, and cook in the hot oil until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • Stir the mango, onion, chives, tomato, red chile pepper, garlic, and lime juice together in a bowl.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the scallops in the hot oil until browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook for 1 minute longer.
  • Remove scallops and place each individual scallop on top of a potato chip as a base, then smother liberally with the salsa. They should be big enough to cut up with a knife or put into the mouth whole.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I loved this dish! The mango salsa really helped to balance out the flavor of the scallops.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover scallops. I had some leftover from a seafood boil and they turned out great in this dish.

I added some chopped avocado to the salsa and it was delicious! I would definitely recommend trying this variation.

I didn't have any cilantro on hand, so I used parsley instead. It turned out great!

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's because I used a hot pepper in the salsa. Next time I'll use a milder pepper.

I had some trouble finding fresh scallops, so I used frozen ones instead. They turned out a little tough, but the mango salsa was still delicious.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less mango in the salsa.
