Thought cooking in a trailer meant loads of crock pot food??<\/p>\n

Think again!!<\/p>\n

It may look complicated, but it is super simple! {If I can put this together in my tiny kitchen, so can you!}<\/em><\/p>\n

It was hard taking pictures of this delicious dish because I just wanted to gobble it all up! {not to mention the horrible lighting…}<\/em><\/p>\n

Scallops are a great seafood dish. They are pretty lean, and have a real mild flavor to them. Perfect for pairing with exotic flavors such as mango and peaches {ok, peaches aren’t so exotic, but I can’t get crazy here in small town-ville}.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/div>\n

You’ll want to find a ripe mango. Soft to the touch, but not too soft, otherwise it will be just mushy.<\/p>\n

\"Sliced<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cut the fruit off around the pit…it’s an odd shape.<\/p>\n

I wish I was better that.<\/p>\n

\"Cubbed<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dice up the mango into little pieces.<\/p>\n

The size is up to you, but you’ll want about 1\/2 cup.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next, get a nice ripe peach.<\/p>\n

Again, not too ripe or it’ll just be mushy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dice that up nice and good.<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup will do just fine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Get some green onions, but just use the white and light green parts…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can discard the root part, but keep the green part and dice that up into some rice to accompany your dish.<\/p>\n

Cut up a few sprigs of cilantro, and throw it all together in a bowl.<\/p>\n

Squeeze about 2 tbsp of fresh lime juice into your mixture.<\/p>\n

So yummy and fresh! Put this away in the fridge and get to work on the scallops!<\/p>\n

Scallops are slimy little things. {‘not eww gross’ slimy, just real wet}’<\/em><\/p>\n

Pat them dry with a paper towel.<\/p>\n

Heat 2 tbsp of oil over med-high heat in a large non-stick skillet.<\/p>\n

Give them a nice helping of your Mango-Peach Salsa, and serve with a lime wedge. I also paired it with a side of Jasmine rice with green onions.<\/p>\n
