Directions:

  1. Place all the ingredients, except one of the jalapeños, the scallops and olive oil, in a blender or food processor and puree.
  2. Taste the mixture and add more jalapeño, as desired.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and set aside.
  4. Rinse the scallops in cold water; pat dry.
  5. In a nonstick sauté pan over high heat, heat the olive oil just until smoking.
  6. Add the scallops and sear well without stirring or tossing.
  7. Carefully add the citrus mixture to the pan and bring to a boil.
