Comment préparer Margarita Scallops

Combine lime juice, orange liqueur, tequila, honey, salt, pepper, and one jalapeño in a blender. Puree until smooth.
Taste the mixture and add more jalapeño to adjust spiciness, if desired.
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and set aside.
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke.
Add the scallops to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, without moving them, until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
Carefully pour the citrus mixture over the seared scallops. Bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to medium. Gently toss the scallops in the sauce for about 1 minute, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
Remove the scallops from the pan and set aside, keeping them warm.
Increase the heat to high and boil the sauce until it reduces by about half, approximately 2-3 minutes. This will concentrate the flavors.
Divide the scallops among four plates.
Spoon the reduced sauce generously over the scallops.
Garnish with reserved jalapeño slices, lime wedges, and fresh cilantro.
