This recipe is the worst thing I have ever tasted. I would rather eat dog food than this dish again.

This recipe was a total disaster! The scallops were rubbery and the sauce was bland.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. It was easy to follow and the dish turned out well. However, I think I would prefer a recipe with a less tangy citrus sauce.

I had a hard time finding fresh scallops at my local grocery store, so I ended up using frozen scallops. The dish still turned out well, but I think fresh scallops would have been better.

The scallops were a bit overcooked for my liking, but the citrus sauce was delicious.

I thought the recipe was a bit too complicated for a weeknight meal. I would probably only make this dish for a special occasion.

The citrus scallops were a bit too tangy for my taste, but overall the dish was still good.

I was a bit skeptical about the citrus and seafood combination, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors complemented each other perfectly.

The scallops turned out so juicy and tender. I'm definitely going to be making this recipe again.

These citrus scallops were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet and tangy flavors was perfect, and the scallops were cooked to perfection.
