This dish was a disappointment. The scallops were overcooked and the glaze was bland.

I wasn't a fan of the celery salad, but the scallops were delicious.

The glaze was a little too spicy for my taste, but the scallops were cooked perfectly.

The scallops were a little overcooked, but the glaze was delicious. I would make this again, but I would cook the scallops for a shorter amount of time.

This was my first time cooking scallops and they turned out great! The glaze was easy to make and added a lot of flavor to the scallops.

I love the combination of sweet and spicy in this dish. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the glaze was flavorful without being too overpowering.

These scallops were a hit! The spicy honey citrus glaze was the perfect complement to the tender, seared scallops. I served them over a bed of celery salad, and it was a light and refreshing meal.
