Scallops with Mojo Picon (Garlic Sauce)

We recently attended an event at Spill the Wine Restaurant in Minneapolis.  The “A to Z Wineworks Wine Event” featured wines paired with various courses of food.  This dish was my re-creation of the scallops that they served with the second wine, an A to Z Oregon Pino Gris.  Bill and I absolutely loved their version of the dish.  I hadn’t known what Mojo Picon sauce was so I had to do a little homework.  Mojo Picon originated in the Canary Islands.  The basic recipe consists of olive oil, large amounts of garlic, paprika and cumin.  Flavorings such as vinegar, lemon, orange or lime juice may be added.  It is commonly served with fresh bread rolls at the beginning of a meal,  but it was a perfect marinade for the scallops they served!  My dish was good, but it wasn’t what we had at the event and I sure wish I knew how to make it like they did icloud data download android!
