Lime-White Pepper Scallops with Bell Pepper Sauce

In a food processor, process the bell peppers on high speed until a smooth puree forms.

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until golden, about 1 minute. Add the bell pepper puree, lime juice, salt and ground white peppercorns and whisk until blended; keep warm.

Heat an indoor electric grill to high heat according to the manufacturer's instructions, or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.

In a small bowl, combine the lime zest, salt and ground white peppercorns. Thread the scallops onto stainless-steel skewers and coat the scallops with the lime zest mixture. Grill the scallops until opaque throughout, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a warmed platter.

Taste the bell pepper sauce and adjust the seasonings with salt and ground white peppercorns. Drizzle the sauce over the scallops and serve immediately. Serves 4.
