How to make Mexican Seafood Sauté with Avocado-Mango Salsa

Mix all ingredients in medium bowl. Season to taste with salt. Cover and chill. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Keep chilled.

Whisk first 5 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in 80ml olive oil. Season marinade to taste with salt and pepper.

Place prawns in large resealable plastic bag. Place scallops in another large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade into bags, dividing equally (about 120ml each). Seal bags; turn to coat. Chill at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.

Drain prawns and scallops; pour marinade into small saucepan. Bring marinade to boil; set aside.

Pat scallops dry. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops to skillet and sauté until beginning to brown, about 11/2 minutes per side. Transfer to large bowl. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet. Add prawns and spring onions; sauté until prawns are almost opaque in centre, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Return scallops with any accumulated juices to skillet. Add boiled marinade. Simmer until seafood is just opaque in centre and mixture is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to large shallow bowl. Garnish with lime slices. Serve with salsa.

Mexican beer is a natural match for this menu. We like Bohemia ($8 per six-pack) because it's refreshing, crisp, and slightly spicy.
