CEVICHE-STYLE SCALLOPS
When preparing a simple scallop dish, buying high-quality scallops is half the battle. Because scallops are often soaked in a phosphate solution that plumps them with water to bump up cost, it's important to look for scallops that are labeled "dry" or "dry-packed." (A phosphate-marinated scallop may taste like soap.) Good scallops need little more than a squeeze of lime, but sliced chile pepper and a handful of cilantro bring brightness to this easy summer dish.

Steps:
- Slice the scallops into thin rounds and arrange them in an even layer on a plate. Scatter some onion and chiles on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Squeeze a generous amount of lime juice on top. Serve right away, or wait for up to 30 minutes. (The scallops will gently "cook" in the lime juice.) Garnish with cilantro leaves.
