Let’s be honest here.  I do love to cook, but boiling corn is kinda a pain in the ass on a stove that looks like it was designed for a Barbie doll and I don’t own a grill.  Raw corn is just as delicious, especially when mixed with other ingredients, such as avocados, bell peppers and cheese….oh yea and the scallops.

I go back and forth on the whole scallops thing.  I didn’t try them until I was much older and liked them and went through a scallop phase.  Then I didn’t eat them for a couple of years because I preferred other fish.  Now I’m back to liking them again.  They are super easy to prepare and flavor.
