For best results, use high-quality sea scallops and fresh, ripe oranges. To prevent the scallops from becoming rubbery, avoid overcrowding the pan and pat them dry before cooking. A splash of dry white wine added along with the lime juice can enhance the flavor of the sauce. Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness.
