Warm Scallop Salad

== Description ==
Using fresh Scallops is the key to this simple salad.
 
== Ingredients ==
* 1½ pounds sea scallops, patted dry (about 24)
* salt and freshly ground black pepper
* ¼ cup olive oil
* ½ cup green onion, sliced (2 green onions)
* 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (3 limes)
* 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
* 1½ cups red bell pepper, diced 
* ½ cup corn kernels, fresh preferred
* orange slices, for garnish (optional) 
== Directions ==
# Season scallops with salt and pepper. Using one or two large non-stick skillets, heat oil over high heat until hot. 
# Add scallops and sauté until browned and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side (scallops should be opaque but not rubbery). 
# Transfer scallops to a large bowl. Gently stir in green onions, lime juice and cilantro.
# Reduce heat to medium-high and add pepper and corn. Sauté until softened and slightly browned, about 3 minutes. 
# Add to bowl of scallops. Serve warm atop orange slices (if using).
