Scallop Scampi Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 5)

This recipe is fantastic!! I doubled the amount of garlic called for and subbed in freshly grated parmesan for the romano (just personal taste preference), and squeezed the juice of a lemon over the top after adding the linguine into the sauce and right before adding the parsley and tossing the whole thing together. My supermarket had gorgeous sea scallops on sale, so I used those instead. I seared them off ahead of time, then covered with foil, then made the sauce in the same pan. I added a little bit more chicken stock and wine to make more sauce, and once I added the linguine and a touch of the starchy pasta water it thickened up beautifully. I placed the sea scallops on top and served with garlic bread. My red-meat eating husband actually said 'AWWWW!' when we ran out! Highly recommend this recipe--quick, easy and delicious!

I substituted ginger ale for the whit wine since I had none. I also used Parmesan and added the cornstarch early instead of at the end. It was really goo!

Really different. Didn't have margarine. Mixed butter and olive oil. Sliced onions. Excellent.

Sadly disappointed but will play with this recipe in the future.with better quality bay scallops. Used frozen bay scallops which were entirely too small and fishy. Followed recipe and found the sauce to be soupy & thin so used corn starch to thicken. Also used fresh parsley & parmesean. Willing to try again with adjustments.

I am not a Scallop lover but needed a way to use them after my husband brought home a bag after going scalloping with friends. This was the perfect solution! Yum!

This was so delicious - will definitely make again. To the scallops I added a can of baby clams as well.

Like many other reviews, I used butter instead of margarine. I also added more garlic (6 cloves instead of 3). I added the cheese as directed, and I certainly WILL NOT do this next time I make this recipe. The cheese melted pretty quickly and wound up turning very clumpy in the sauce. In the end it didn't make much of a difference in terms of flavor, but it definitely made the sauce difficult to work with while cooking. In cooking the scallops, I didn't rapidly boil them as it says in the recipe. I didn't want them to overcook and become tough, so I just sauted them in the sauce for a couple of minutes and let them finish cooking on low heat (when adding the parsley). I also wouldn't add the parsley until the very last moment before serving. I included some mushrooms in the saute of garlic and onion, and that added a great dimension of flavor to the sauce! Overall, a great base recipe that you can definitely tweak for different variations.

Instead of margarine I used butter, other than that I followed the recipe and we loved it. My 9 year old son even loved it. Next time I will try adding shrimp with the scallops.
