These scallops are quite good! I halved the oil and ginger, and tripled the garlic. I had to substitute broth for the clam juice (it didn't look quite right, so I tossed it). It only took the sauce a couple of seconds to thicken. This was an enjoyable entree for 2 with brown rice and a veggie. Thanks!
