OMG! SOOO Good. Eveything about this recipe is deliciousl Tried not to alter but had to use what was on hand. Asparagus instead of beans, Canned crushed pineapple (still really good). No lemongrass or vinegar, so we used cooking sherry and lemon juice. And I skipped the oil all together for health reasons. Used PAM high heat grilling spray on the frying pan and still got a nice sear. Added a little extra heat and it was wonderful!! Will definitely make again!

I cut the olive oil in half and added cajun seasoning to the scallops. The salsa was great but next time I'll do waaaaay more of it and use lemon juice/zest instead of lemon grass. Lemon grass just isn't meant to be eaten, there were little strands of it that weren't so appealing. Great recipe overall, will definately make again. Thanks!

I don't eat seafood, I am however learning how to cook it for my husband. Thanks to the clear and well written recipe I served a dish to my husband that looked and tasted like a professional chef had made it.I had fresh snow peas so I used them instead of beans that is the only change I made. My husband said my scallops were perfectly cooked and the pineapple salsa was a perfect match. He was completely satisfied. I liked the salsa very much as well it lent it self well to my chicken. Thank you so much for helping learn how to cook seafood.

Yum! I always use bay scallops but, made an exception for this and did buy the sea scallops. The salsa was wonderful on them! Don't see a need for the beans though they were good. Will leave them out next time. Served with tri color couscous and even my husband loved dinner. Thanks for a very nice recipe.

The salsa was five stars, but the scallops and the green beans were only three. I was worried that the salsa would not come together at first, but after 30 minutes in the fridge it was very good. Less oil would have been much better, though, since I think the honey and cider are enough liquid to bring the ingredients together. I cooked only one scallop by this method, and it came out dark brown which I think was the intention. It also smoked up my whole apartment, so I cooked the remaining scallops over low heat. The green beans were nothing special, just steamed green beans. I think I will try tossing some garlic in with them on the last saute next time.
