Overall, this was a good recipe. The scallops and shrimp were cooked well and the sauce was tasty. However, I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I would add more herbs and spices next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I had to make several substitutions and I think it affected the final product. I will try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was heavy and the scallops and shrimp were a bit overcooked. I think I would prefer a lighter sauce next time.

I made this dish last night and it was a disaster. The scallops were overcooked and the shrimp were rubbery. The sauce was bland and lacked flavor. I will not be making this recipe again.
