COOK'S TIP:

Sea scallops can be substituted for the shrimp. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the scallops for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and opaque in the center when tested with the tip of a knife. Cut them in quarters and follow the instructions for the shrimp recipe.

KITCHENWARE: chef's knife, medium saucepan, colander, large glass or stainless-steel bowl, pepper mill, metal spoon. For Dip: small bowl, whisk
