This recipe worked out well for me, the toasted sesame oil adds an amazing amount of flavor to the seafood. I only did this for sea scallops and had to substitute lemon for the lime but it was really flavorful and easy to do after work. I baked 1/2 lbs of sea scallops (about 8) in 18 minutes and they were perfectly done. Thanks Big Daddy 2!
