Sauteed Sea Scallops with Shallots image

My family loves scallops and I like using sea scallops because they are generally more available and less expensive than the smaller bay scallops. A simple test for freshness, a very mild, sweet scent and a translucent, almost white color.

The scallops were a bit too salty for my taste, but the shallots were delicious. I think I'll try using less salt next time.

The scallops were a bit bland for my taste, but the shallots were delicious. I think I'll try adding some lemon juice or white wine next time.

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but I was disappointed. The scallops were tough and the shallots were undercooked. I think I'll stick to my old scallop recipe.

This dish was a disappointment. The scallops were tough and rubbery, and the shallots were bland. I won't be making this recipe again.

The scallops were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the shallots were delicious. I think I'll try this recipe again with a shorter cooking time.

These scallops were cooked to perfection! They were tender and juicy, with a lightly browned exterior. The shallots added a delicious sweetness and depth of flavor. I served them over rice, and it was a hit with my family.
