Oh my goodness, is this good. I had 1 pound of scallops and 1 pound shrimp that were slated for chowder, but we just weren't in a chowder mood. So this was the perfect recipe for them! Made exactly as stated, but I used 5-6 cloves garlic, what can I say? lol, love that garlic! We also added a couple tbsp butter to the finished sauce. Then I threw the cooked seafood back in to toss with the sauce, and then spooned them over the pasta. Served over thin linguine. Cher, this was fabulous! Thank you!

They were having a special on fresh sea scallops at our fish market so I took advantage of that and couldn't wait to make this recipe. It was fabulous to say the very least. The lemon wine sauce went perfectly with the scallops and the look was beautiful when I got it all assembled. Very elegant and delicious. Thank-you Just Cher.

This was great, I added just a touch more wine and tiny bit more butter and little less lemon and it was fantastic - I cooked the sauce down just a bit (dont forget to drain your scallops after searing or the sauce will be bitter.) and tossed with angel hair pasta - GREAT - easy recipe. Thanks for sharing!

Tasty recipe! The wine and lemon sauce is delicious. I used bay scallops instead of sea, and substituted onion powder for chives since I did not have any. The sauce ended up being pretty minimal (maybe because I used bay instead of sea scallops?) despite using extra wine and lemon juice. Next time I will double amounts for the sauce ingredients. To finish cooking it all I mixed the pasta in with the sauce and dropped in a few extra Tbsp of butter. Delicious!
