Instructions
- Step 1: In a glass bowl, combine 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup dry white wine, and 1 tbsp Missouri honey. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
- Step 2: Add 12 oz thinly sliced fresh sea scallops to the marinade and stir gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 'cook' the scallops in the citrus and wine mixture.
- Step 3: After 30 minutes, drain about half the marinade, then fold in 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 1 small minced jalapeño pepper (seeded for less heat), 2 tbsp chopped cilantro leaves, and 1 tsp kosher salt.
- Step 4: Gently fold in 1 diced avocado just before serving to add creaminess and balance the acidity.
- Step 5: Serve chilled in small bowls or on tostada shells as a light appetizer or summer dish.
