Carefully clean scallops of any roe, muscle, or brown connective tissue,
which can become tough when marinated. Cut scallops into 1/4-inch
horizontal slices. Combine marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Add
scallops and toss to coat. Marinate, covered, in refrigerator 5 minutes or
as long as 30 minutes, any longer and the acid in the lime juice would
overcook the seafood. Meanwhile, prepare salad: Whisk together olive oil,
lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Tear watercress into bite-size
pieces and toss with dressing. Divide salad among 6 serving plates. Arrange
a circle of scallops in the center of each. Thinly slice avocado halves
into strips lengthwise and garnish plates along the side. Spoon leftover
marinade over scallops and avocado. Serve cold. This recipe yields 6
servings.
