Arrange the scallops in a Pyrex dish. Place it in the refrigerator for 8 to 10 minutes to firm up a bit. While the scallops cool, squeeze the limes and strain the juice. Slice the cucumbers thinly or into cubes (in this case, without the seeds). Finely slice the onion into crescent-shaped pieces. Grind the chili piquín with a spoon. Take the scallops out of the refrigerator and add salt and pepper, then add the cucumber, onion, chili piquín, lime juice, and a splash of soy sauce. Mix everything well with a plastic or wooden spoon and let it sit for about 3 minutes.
