I thought this recipe was terrific! I sauteed the scallops right along with the onions and mushrooms, and added some chopped garlic at the end. I also added pasta and peas (I really wanted to add broccoli but did not have any). A keeper for sure; Thank You!

Outstanding.My dad and i would always go to a small restaurant back home and he would get a scallop dish like this every time.I made it and it tastes just like it.Wonderful.thank you

I would rate this zero, but at least I could pick the scallops out that I had seasoned and eat them. This was soupy and completely tasteless! Can even think of a way to make improvements to it!!

i was so excited about this recipe based on the reviews, but was disappointed in the results. while the sauce had good flavor and the scallops were so tender, it was so soupy. i wound up having to make some pasta and mixing it into it -- didn't put the cheese on the top because i do not think fish and cheese go well together, glad i didn't as it would have made stirring the pasta in difficult.

This is a great recipe. I used the very small sea scallops and they worked out beautifully. I served this over brown rice and it was a big hit.
