Method

1. In large bowl, mix black beans, corn, onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set black-bean salsa aside. 2. Rinse scallops with cold running water to remove sand from crevices; pat dry with paper towels. In medium bowl, mix chili powder, sugar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; add scallops, tossing to coat. 3. In nonstick 12-inch skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until very hot. Add scallops and cook 3 to 6 minutes until scallops are lightly browned on the outside and turn opaque throughout, turning once. 4. Arrange black-bean salsa and scallops on 4 dinner plates, garnish with cilantro leaves and red chilies. Serve with lime wedges if you like.
