Step 1
Pat scallops dry with paper towels, then slice them in half horizontally to create thin, even rounds.
Step 2
Arrange scallop slices in a shallow bowl. Squeeze lime juice over them until just covered (about 1 cup).
Step 3
Add salt, then stir gently. Let sit for 3 minutes — the acid will turn the scallops opaque.
Step 4
Scatter red onion slices, jalapeño, and cilantro over the top. Gently toss to combine.
Step 5
Taste and adjust salt or lime juice. Serve immediately in small bowls or on a chilled plate.
