This Polynesian dish is reminscent of the uniquely tropical cuisines of Hawaii and New Zealand. It's a very easy dish to prepare, and it makes a very elegant dinner, especially paired with a dry white wine or a tropical orange-mango blend fruit juice. But remember to always take care not to overcook scallops or they will become tough. As soon as they lose their translucence and turn opaque, they are done.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb sea scallops
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red onion, chopped
8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
1 bell pepper, seed and cut into 1-inch strips
1 tomato, chopped
1 avocado, sliced in 1/2-inch strips
1 cup mango salsa
1 cup sour cream
2 green onions, sliced thinly

Directions

1
Broil the scallops for 4 minutes, then turn and broil 2 more minutes.
2
In a large saucepan, sauté the chopped onion in the olive oil until tender. Add the sliced mushrooms, bell pepper strips, and chopped tomato; cook until all the vegetables are heated through.
3
Arranged the sautéed vegetables on a platter. Top with the broiled scallops. Layer the avacado slices on top of the scallops, then spread mango salsa over the the avacado slices. Top with sour cream, and garnish with green onion slices.

Very good and interesting dish! I didn't have any mango salsa so used the salsa I had which was good but not polynesian. Thanks for sharing!

My other half's been after me to make a scallop dish, as this one was it! I did use just half the avocado & sliced it over only half of the veggies (NOT my half) & we were both very satisfied with the results! Also used a homemade mango salsa ~ Very, very nice! Thanks, much, for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]

We loved this dish! All the flavours complimented each other. We used a home made mango salsa that had tomatoes included, so we did not add tomatoes to the vegetable mix. Next time we would add some garlic and perhaps lemon to the vegetable mix. We seared the scallops in a pan with a bit of olive oil, instead of broiling. Made for 1-2-3 tag.
