Chef Kirk Avondoglio: Scallops Marinated in Citrus Juices Recipe

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
1 pound sea or bay scallops
Juice of 2 limes
Juice of 1 orange
Grated rind of 1 lemon, 1 lime, and 1/2 orange
Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
2 Tablespoons orange liqueur
4 to 6 lime slices

Directions:
This recipe should be made one day prior to serving.
Slice the raw scallops thinly.
Mix lime juice, orange juice, citrus rinds, and orange liqueur. Add the scallops. Let sit covered to marinate in the refrigerator overnight. (The acid in the citrus juice will cook the scallops.)
To serve, arrange your favorite green lettuce on cold plates and top with a mound of the scallops. Garnish with a slice of lime.
