Steps:
- Place the scallops on a large plate lined with a paper towel and pat dry. Combine the lime juice, shallot, chili sauce, fish sauce and 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large bowl; whisk to combine. Add the cabbage, cucumbers, radishes, apple and basil to the dressing and toss well to coat.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the scallops in an even layer (do not crowd the pan). Cook, undisturbed, until a golden crust forms on the bottom of the scallops, about 3 minutes. Flip the scallops (they should release easily from the pan; if they stick, cook 1 more minute). Cook until lightly browned on the other side, about 2 minutes.
- Divide the cabbage salad among plates and add the scallops. Top with the peanuts and serve with lime wedges.

SPICY SEARED SCALLOP SALAD
Steps:
- Rinse sea scallops and pat dry with a towel. In a small bowl, mix together the cayenne, black pepper and garlic salt. Gently roll the scallops in the spices.

Cook for 2 minutes per side flipping them once.
- In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, cayenne, salt and pepper and garlic. Slowly whisk in the olive oil in a stream. Combine the mixed greens and bell peppers in a large bowl. When the scallops are done, toss the dressing with the greens. Serve the scallops on top of the dressed greens
SCALLOP SALAD
This ultrasimple scallop salad, brought to The Times in 2012, comes from Jair Téllez's restaurant in Mexico City, MeroToro. Easy enough for a weeknight, it requires only a few ingredients. Tender, earthy boiled potatoes complement the quick-seared scallops, while spring onions lend a bit of sharpness.
