This papaya sauce with a kick is the perfect compliment to some fresh sea scallops. Serve with bread as an appetizer or over rice for a full meal.

The Ingredients:

• 1 small papaya, peeled, seeded and chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 red onion, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp minced jalapeno peppers
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 pound sea scallops
• salt and pepper to taste

The Process:

Take a medium sized bowl and place in it the cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno, onion, red pepper and papaya, stirring them together and then setting the bowl aside when finished.

Then take a plastic bag that can be sealed, placing the scallops, pepper, salt and flour in the bag before shaking it in order to coat the scallops with the flour and the seasoning.

Once that has been completed, place a skillet on medium-high heat on the stove, cooking the scallops in the skillet until they turn a golden colour.

Place the scallops over the papaya sauce that you set aside earlier, before serving the whole dish immediately.
