1 1/2 pounds sea scallops
3/4 cup Spanish onion, finely chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons salt, or 1 tablespoon herbed salt

5
Put the scallops in a strainer to drain off all excess lemon juice.
6
Add all remaining vegetables, except the hot peppers.

Add oil; you may use some olive oil, but too much will be too strong a flavor for the delicate scallops.
