Avoid this recipe! The scallops were rubbery and the sauce was inedible.

Not worth the effort. The scallops were tough and the sauce was watery.

Meh, it was okay. The scallops were a bit bland and the sauce was a bit too spicy.

Not a fan of the papaya sauce. It was a bit too sweet for my liking.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try it again and be more careful with the cooking time.

A bit too spicy for my taste, but the flavors were still really good. I'll try it again with less chili next time.

I love the combination of sweet and spicy in the papaya sauce. It really elevated the scallops and made them extra special.

Nailed it! The scallops were cooked to perfection, with a nice sear and tender interior. The spicy papaya sauce added a vibrant kick that complemented the scallops beautifully.
