Ingredients

FOR THE SALSA:

1/3 cup papaya (chopped)
1/3 cup pineapple (chopped)
1 tablespoon roasted jalapeno (chopped)
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon scallion (chopped)
salt and pepper

FOR THE SCALLOPS:

A small handful of tortilla chips
8 large sea scallops
1 small egg
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Combine all the salsa ingredients and set aside. Feel free to customize the quantities to suit your tastes.
Use a blender or food processor to pulverize the tortilla chips into a coarse meal. You can also hand-crush them with the back of a spoon. You should end up with about a quarter cup. Transfer to a large flat plate. Rinse and pat your scallops dry. Beat the egg in a small bowl.
Dip both of the flat sides of each scallop into the egg and then lightly press each side into the ground tortilla chips.
Heat a non-stick pan with a tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat.
Place the scallops in the pan and let cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on the first side. You should be hearing a good sizzling sound. When they’re nicely browned on one side, turn them once and cook until the other side is browned and the middle of the scallops just go opaque.
Plate and serve immediately with the salsa!
