Ingredients

1	pound	sea scallops
1/3	cup	vegetable oil
1	tablespoon	ginger	minced fresh
2	tablespoons	lime juice
2	teaspoons	marjoram	minced fresh
1	teaspoon	marjoram	dried

1/4	teaspoon	black pepper
1/3	cup	scallions, spring or green onions	thinly sliced
1/8	pound	mixed greens

Directions

1. Rinse scallops well, pat dry, and cut crosswise about 1/4 inch thick.

2. To a 10-12 inch frying pan over medium-high heat, add oil and ginger.

When hot, add 1/2 the scallops; turn often with a wide spatula until scallops are tinged with gold and no longer translucent in center (cut to test), about 4 minutes.

3. With a slotted spoon, transfer scallops to a small bowl. Cook remaining scallops; add to bowl.

Drain juices from scallops back into frying pan; bring to a boil; then remove from heat.

Stir in lime juice, marjoram, sugar, pepper, and onion.

4. Put leaves in a wide, shallow bowl. At once, pour hot dressing over them; mix, then push leaves to 1 side of the bowl.

Mound scallops and potato chips separately beside leaves.

Present salad, then mix.
