I'm not sure what went wrong, but my scallops turned out rubbery. I'll have to practice more.

The scallops were a bit gritty. I think I'll try a different brand next time.

I'm allergic to scallops, so I used shrimp instead. It was just as good!

I didn't have any sun-dried tomatoes, so I used fresh tomatoes instead. It turned out great!

The scallops and pasta salad was a great choice for a light and healthy summer meal. The dressing was a bit too lemony for my taste, but I'll definitely be making this again!

This scallops and pasta salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of succulent scallops, flavorful sun-dried tomatoes, and tangy dressing was a perfect balance of flavors.
