Preparation

Step 1

Cut the grapefruit into the segments with no skin or membrane. Squeeze the juice from the membrane into a 1-cup liquid measuring cup; discard membrane. Drain the pieces and add the juice to the measuring cup. Juice the second grapefruit and add enough to make 2/3 cup. Refrigerate the grapefruit segments and watermelon seperately.

In a medium nonreactive bowl, combine the scallops, grapefruit juice, lemon juice, red onion and habanero. Cover and chill until the scallops are opaque, about 30 minutes.

Drain the scallop mixture in a fine sieve and transfer to a large bowl. Gently stir in the watermelon, grapefruit and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve cold on small plates or in bowls.
