The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was still very good.

This was my first time cooking scallops, and I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a delicious and easy recipe to follow. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the sauce was divine. I served it with roasted potatoes and asparagus, and it was a hit with my family. I will definitely be making this again.
