Sauce
1 medium carrot
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon hot chili-garlic sauce (sriracha)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped of fresh mint
Scallops
20 large sea scallops (about 1 1/4 lb.)
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper

1
To make the sauce: cut the carrot into 1/4-inch slices; add to a saucepan with 1 cup water, soy sauce, sriracha, and cumin.
2
Bring to a boil; decrease heat to a simmer and cook until the carrots are just tender, about 15 minutes.
3
Puree the mixture in a food processor, adding the vinegar, olive oil, and mint as the processor is running.
4
The sauce should have the consistency of ketchup; if too thick, add a bit of water; if too thin, simmer a few minutes to reduce it; set aside.
5
Wash the scallops and remove the small, tough, side muscle; put scallops in a bowl.
6
Add enough olive oil to lightly coat; season with salt and pepper.
7
Place the scallops on the grill grate 1-2 inches apart; grill over direct high heat 4-6 minutes until just opaque in the center, turn once halfway through grilling time.
8
Remove from grill and serve warm with dipping sauce drizzled on top or serve sauce in small, individual dipping bowls.
