Prepare
vinaigrette: Combine orange juice, shallot,
ginger, lime juice, and lemon juice in a small
bowl and mix well. Let stand for 10 to 15
minutes. Strain the juice mixture into a bowl,
discarding the solids. Whisk the olive oil, salt
and pepper into the juice mixture until blended. |

Prepare
salad: Rinse scallops and pat dry. Remove the
"feet" (the small muscle sometimes found on the
side of the scallop) and discard. Heat the olive
oil in a large nonstick sauté pan until almost
smoking. Add the scallops to the hot oil and
sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute
longer or until translucent in the center.
Remove from the heat. |

Toss the
frisée, mangoes, scallions and almonds with the
desired amount of vinaigrette in a salad bowl.
Divide the frisée mixture evenly among 4 plates.
Top each serving with 5 scallops and serve
immediately with the remaining vinaigrette. |

Quality! would
make it again. "I
grilled the scallops and substituted fresh orange slices for the mango
for my 11 yo son. This is wonderful! So simple, yet elegant! I will make
this again and again and ...well..you understand!"
