SCALLOP COCKTAIL WITH AVOCADO
A ceviche-type appetizer, but not a true ceviche because it's poached. A great special-occasion first course.

SCALLOPS WITH AVOCADO SALSA
This is an awesome accidental find that I came across on msn.com, credited to Food & Wine. I can't possibly express how delicious this dish is. Each component is wonderful- it's almost a three-for-one deal- one recipe with 3 things that you can make just on their own. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. Couldn't wait to share with you all!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine basil, lime juice, olive oil, onion, jalapeno and garlic.
- With rubber spatula, gently fold in the avocados.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Season the scallops with salt and pepper and cook over high heat until browned outside, but still rare in the center- about 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer scallops to warmed platter- keep them warm.
- Add water and tomatoes to the same skillet and cook over med-high heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom until the water has reduced- this happens in about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the tomato sauce over the scallops and serve with avocado salsa on the side.
- *Use the salsa and the sauce on steak, shrimp, with chips, in a sandwich -- the possibilities are endless!
