Scallops in Sage Cream image

I wanted to show off the ocean freshness of the scallops I bought on the dock from a local fisherman, so I used basic ingredients to showcase them. With sage and shallots, this is the best cream sauce for scallops I've found. -Joan Churchill, Dover, New Hampshire

This recipe was a disaster! The scallops were overcooked and the sage cream sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scallops turned out great. However, the sage cream sauce was a bit too heavy for my taste. Next time, I will try using less butter and cream.

This was an absolutely delicious and easy-to-make dish. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the sage cream sauce was amazing. I served it over pasta and it was a hit with my family. I will definitely be making this again soon!
