  1. I scaled this down to serve one, but it served me and my mother both just fine. Wasnt too keen on the mixture of such sweetness with a scallops, but I dont like to mix savory meats with sweets. But my mother who does not like the mixture of sweet and savory even more than me really enjoyed this... so that says something!! I enjoyed the salsa a lot separtly with some won ton chips later on. I liked the scallops with just the cumin and ginger a whole lot, and plan to make them with that spice mixture more often. All and all a great recipe if youre not as picky about mixing sweet with savory as me :)
