Mild mannered scallops are perked up when rubbed with a cumin and smoked paprika spice mixture then paired with a fruity salsa seasoned with jalapeño and fresh herbs. Radishes give a slightly peppery and crunchy counterpoint to super sweet refreshing watermelon in the simple salsa. Be sure to pat your scallops very dry before adding them to the pan to achieve the best sear.
