• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2/3 cup light soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 pounds large sea scallops
• cooking oil spray
• toasted sesame seeds
Rinse scallops and remove tough muscle from side if necessary. Pat dry.
Combine, lemon and lime juices, soy sauce, sugar, ginger and sesame oil in a wide shallow glass bowl. Add scallops and marinate, covered, at room temperature for no more than 5 minutes each side. Transfer scallops to a plate. Reserve marinade.
Heat large non stick skillet, sprayed with cooking oil spray over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Sauté scallops, 6 to 8 at a time, until golden brown and just cooked through - 2 to 3 minutes on each flat side. Transfer to a warming plate. Wipe out skillet and respray with cooking oil spray and cook another batch. Continue wiping out skillet and respraying between batches.
Wipe out skillet once again and add marinade and bring to a boil and reduce to about 1/3 cup.
Drizzle scallops with sauce and serve immediately with rice pilaf and and a green salad.

This is a Rachael Ray recipe that we think is delicious.
Smokey Sweet Potato Stoop
Serves 4; points 6
Ingredients
* 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
* 2 medium carrots, peeled
* 2 ribs celery
* 1 large onion, peeled and halved
* 2 cloves garlic, chopped
* 1-2 chipotle chili in adobo, finely chopped, plus a spoon of sauce from the can
* Salt and black pepper
* 1 teaspoon dry thyme (eyeball it)
* 1 bay leaf
* 1 cup dry white wine (eyeball it)
* 5 cups chicken stock
* 1 large sweet potato
* 3/4-1 pound chicken tenders, cut into bite-size pieces
* 4 scallions, white and green parts thinly sliced
* 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, a generous handful, roughly chopped
* 1/2 cup sour cream, for garnish (optional)
Preparation
Heat a soup pot over medium-high heat with two tablespoons of EVOO, about two turns of the pan.
While soup pot heats, chop carrots in half lengthwise then slice into thin half moons. Add the carrots to the pot while it heats, stirring to coat the carrots in the EVOO. Chop and drop in celery and onion, chopping as small as you can, but don't make yourself crazy. Add the garlic, chipotle, and adobo sauce and stir to combine. Season the veggies with salt, pepper, thyme, and bay leaf. Cook the veggies together for one minute. Add the wine and reduce a minute. Add the stock to the pot, cover the pot, and raise heat to high. Bring the stoup to a boil, remove the cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into quarters lengthwise, then thinly slice into bite-size pieces. Add the cut chicken and sweet potatoes and simmer five minutes until sweet potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through. Turn the heat off and add the scallions and cilantro. Serve each portion of stoup with a dollop of sour cream on top.
