Pat scallops dry with paper towels and season to taste with pepper.
Add half of the scallops to the pan, cooking until opaque throughout and golden brown on the surfaces, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Add orange juice to the pan and cook until reduced by about half.
To serve, divide couscous among four plates.
