Ingredients
1 pound fresh or frozen sea scallops
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
4 baby leeks, rinsed well and trimmed

1 medium lime, halved

Directions
1. Thaw scallops, if frozen. Rinse and pat dry. For marinade, combine soy sauce and rice vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.

2. Place scallops, leeks, and scallions in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. Add marinade. Seal bag; turn to coat. Marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
