I'm not a big fan of seafood, but this dish was surprisingly good. The scallops were tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful without being too overpowering.

This dish is a little too spicy for me, but it's still really good. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less red pepper flakes next time.

This is my go-to recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The scallops cook in just a few minutes and the sauce comes together in no time. I always have the ingredients on hand, so it's a lifesaver on busy nights.

I love this recipe! The scallops are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is so flavorful. I usually serve it over fettuccine noodles, but it would also be good with rice or mashed potatoes.

This spicy scallop fettuccine is a seafood lover's dream! The scallops are cooked perfectly and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. I added a little extra red pepper flakes for a bit of a kick. Will definitely be making this again!
