Scallop-Stuffed Pickled Peppers
- 1 pound sea scallops, sliced horizontally into 1/4 inch rounds and each round halved
- 2/3 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 1-pound bottles pepperocini (pickled green mild chili peppers) drained rinsed well under running cold water, and patted dry
- red cabbage leaves for lining platters
- In a ceramic or glass bowl combine the scallops with the lime juice and let them marinate, covered and chilled, stirring several times, for at least 4 hours or overnight (The scallops will "cook" in the lime juice.)
- Make a lengthwise slit in each pickled pepper, transfer the peppers slit side down to paper towels, and let them drain for 5 minutes.
- Drain the scallops, reserving the lime juice and stuff a scallop slice curved side up into each pepper.
- (The stuffed peppers may be prepared up to 4 hours ahead and kept covered and chilled.)
- Just before serving brush the scallops with the reserved lime juice and arrange the stuffed peppers decoratively on platters lined with the cabbage.
