I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scallops turned out tough and chewy. I think I might have overcooked them.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The scallops cook in just a few minutes and the sauce is simple to make.

I made this recipe for a dinner party and it was a huge success. Everyone loved the scallops and the sauce. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

This recipe was a disaster. The scallops were rubbery and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it always turns out delicious. I usually serve it with roasted vegetables or a side salad.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of orange juice or honey next time.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The scallops are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is to die for. I highly recommend this recipe.

I'm not a big fan of scallops, but I tried this recipe anyway and I was pleasantly surprised. The scallops were tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful without being overpowering.

The scallops were a little overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was amazing. I'll definitely be trying this recipe again with a shorter cooking time.

This is a delicious and easy recipe that I'll definitely be making again. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the orange and sesame sauce was a perfect complement. I served it over jasmine rice and it was a hit with my family.
