I substituted lime for orange in the glaze and it was still delicious! The scallops were cooked perfectly and the glaze was tangy and sweet. Will definitely be making this again with lime.

The scallops were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the orange glaze was delicious. I would recommend cooking the scallops for a shorter amount of time.
