Puree first 4 ingredients in blender until smooth. ( Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover, chill. Bring to room temperature and whisk before using.)

Using slotted spoon, transfer scallops to medium bowl, reserving juices in skillet; cool scallops and juices. Whisk 1/3 cup juices into vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper.
