I served these scallops over a bed of rice and they were absolutely delicious. The rice soaked up all of the delicious sauce and made the dish even more satisfying.

I used frozen scallops for this recipe and they turned out great! I was worried that they would be tough, but they were actually very tender.

The scallops were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the cider sauce was delicious. I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These scallops were cooked perfectly - tender and juicy on the inside, with a nice sear on the outside. The cider sauce was the perfect accompaniment, with a slightly sweet and tart flavor that complemented the scallops beautifully.
