Scallop Martinis

Warning! I have it upon good authority that this recipe just really is NOT GOOD. I posted it in good faith, having loved recipes by Lucy Waverman many times before. But sadly, this is not one that stands the test! Prepare at your peril, it's really no a good recipe. Don't waste your money on the scallops for this one :( Original Intro was: A sexy appetizer served in Martini glasses. Eat the scallops and drink the spicy Martini. Great for a dinner with that special someone, or for a dinner party. Cooking time is marinating time. Another recipe by Lucy Waverman at Food and Drink. I am secretly posting this in honor of my wonderful friend Potsie, he'll find this recipe at some point :)
