Directions to make Margarita Scallops
Place all ingredients, except scallops and olive oil, in blender or food processor; puree. Taste mixture; add more jalapeno as desired. Transfer mixture to mixing bowl; set aside. Rinse scallops in cold water; pat dry. In non-stick sauté pan over high heat, heat olive oil just until smoking. Add scallops to sauté pan and sear well without stirring or tossing.

Remove scallops, cover to keep warm; reduce sauce to half of its original volume over high heat. To serve, divide scallops among plates. Pour liquid from pan directly over plates.
