Ingredients
Passion Fruit Sauce:
- ¼ cup fresh passion fruit pulp with seeds (about 2 to 3 passion fruits)
- ½-1 habanero pepper, seeded and diced (optional)

Scallops:
- ½ pound sea scallops

Instructions
- In a blender, combine all passion fruit sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth, then transfer sauce to a medium bowl. Set aside.
