Ingredients

  • 1 cup scallop (bay or sea scallops)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 medium red onion
  • ⅓ cup tomatoes (or 1/2 cup if preferred)
  • 1-2 tablespoon garlic
  • 1 - 2 tablespoon aji amarillo (add more to make it spicier)
  • ¼ cup pineapple or orange juice
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • banana chips for sides (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chop the scallops into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix all the ingredients for the sauce: aji amarillo, pineapple or orange juice, and the lime juice.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, add the roughly diced or minced red onion, tomatoes, and garlic.

  4. 4

    Add in the scallops and sauce. Make sure all the scallops are submerged in the sauce. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours if using fresh scallops.
