Marinate for 1 hour. Add lime zest

Marinate for 1 hour. Add lime zest

Great recipe. I didn't half the scallops and was able to eat this as leftovers the next day. They were more cooked but not overcooked. Awesome flavor.

The marinade was good but completely overwhelmed the delicate flavor of the sea scallops. Too much onion, too much jalapeno ( and I like spicy food!). Also the 30 minute marinating time was too long for scallops, which can be eaten raw. Not sure if I would make this again - but definitely not with scallops.
