Total time: 15 minutes
Scallops only take a few minutes to cook They should just go from translucent to opaque. If you cook them longer they can get tough. We do ours on the barbecue grill but a hot skillet would work just as easily. Be careful not to crowd and have the pan or grill hot. They can give off a bit of liquid and you want them to brown, not steam. These are flavored with chili powder and garlic and finished with a spicy Tomato Chili Salsa.

Instructions:
Notes: Scallops could also be quickly sautéed in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat for about the same amount of time.
Any leftover salsa can be eaten with chips, crackers, whatever.... I just like to have some around!
