Though it's not a true ceviche, since the scallops are already cooked when they hit the marinade, the classic combination of refreshing citrus acid from orange and lime juice, heat from jalapeño, crunch from cucumber, and sweetness from the scallops themselves becomes even more intriguing with the added layer of flavor from the grill. This is the perfect way to start off this menu, as the bold marinade stirs up the appetite for the substantial main course.
·If you're making the entire menu and using a charcoal grill, the coals will need to be replenished before you grill the steaks and peppers. Instead of grilling the scallops, you can cook them in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan, uncovered.
·Cooked scallops can be marinated up to 3 hours.
