Ingredient Substitution Guide

directions

Step 1

To prepare the salsa, mix the mashed avocados, onion, green onion, corn, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, and chili powder together in a medium sized bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine all of the blackening spices together.

Step 3

Pat scallops dry and sprinkle the blackening spice evenly on both sides of each scallop.

Step 4

Preheat Grill to high heat (475F-500F) (246C-260C).

Step 5

To help prevent the scallops from sticking to the grill, rub or spray the grill grates with a neutral flavoured oil. Then place the scallops directly over the heat and cook for 1.5 minutes per side. Do not move the scallops until they are ready to flip.

Step 6

Remove the finished scallops, and cut them in half. Place a dollop of avocado on a tortilla chip and place half a scallop on top. Repeat until all of the scallops are plated and serve while hot.
