I made this tonight as a mothers day dinner and followed the recipe exactly. The only thing I did differently was cook shrimp with the scallops and instead of eating on bread I served it in my seafood alfredo. The scallops came out SO tender and flavorful! I was actually quite shocked at how good these came out given the fact that I have NEVER made scallops before. Such an easy recipe, all you need to do is follow the cooking instructions exactly. Even the shrimp came out amazing! My family loved this and my boyfriend said these were awesome! He already went and put more scallops on the shopping list for next time!

One of the worst scallop dishes I have ever made. Way too much liquid, the bread was soggy.

Wonderful, easy and absolutely perfect. I have made this twice first as an appetizer served on the toasted bread. Then I made it to serve over pasta as noted at the bottom of the recipe. For the appetizer 1 1/2 of bay scallops is a lot for 4 servings but as a main dish it was perfect. Make sure you have everything prepped and ready as this cooks really fast and make sure your pan is smoking hot to quickly sear the scallops. The only thing I did differently is to use garlic olive oil on the bread and I toasted the bread in a cast iron skillet. For the pasta dish I added some Parmesan cheese to the top of each serving. Enjoy!

Incredible! and EASY! Quick to prepare and tastes like you went all out. I used the tip of adding the heavy cream at the end, just until thickened and served over angel hair pasta. Finish with a sprinkle of romano cheese.

This was really good. Just enough for two or three people. Really quick to make. I put it on fettucini type noodles.

Very good with pasta for dinner. Things I changed are, using 2/3 cup wine and reducing the wine for 10 min before using. I also just used the sauce with out the cream over the pasta it was lighter and very yummy. I cut up the Italian bread for dunking and served with a salad.
