- 1⁄3 cup yellow pumpkin, diced to 1/4-inch
- 1⁄4 cup red bell pepper, diced to 1/4-inch
- 1⁄4 cup white mushroom, cleaned and diced to 1/4-inch

- 6 tablespoons fresh juice from a tart-sweet oranges
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar (to taste)

directions
- Place the zucchini, pumpkin, red pepper, mushrooms, and candied lemon in a large bowl and toss to mix. Add the orange and lemon juice, toss and let vegetables stand for about 30 minutes.
- Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season with salt & pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a very large skillet over high heat until almost smoking. Working in two batches, cook the scallops until golden brown and opaque throughout, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked scallops to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Add the diced vegetables and their soaking liquid and cook until they just begin to soften slightly but are still bright colored, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the fish stock and cook until warm, about 1 minute. Add the wine and balsamic vinegars, season with salt & pepper to taste, and remove the sauce from the heat.
- Divide the scallops among elegant soup plates and spoon the vegetables and some liquid around them. Serve at once.
