I'm not one to leave negative reviews, but this one just wasn't to our liking. Something about it just wasn't right. I didn't change the recipe at all. The breadcrumbs didn't stick to the scallops when it was all said and done and the texture turned into something mushy, which I think was part of our troubles. . .

    This was an excellent recipe. I suffer from FOFC (fear of fish cooking) and this was a treat to have something turn out so good. I added some Blackened Redfish Magic and served this over angel hair pasta. Thanks again for a great recipe.

    What a GREAT way to serve the smaller Bay scallops!Great flavor and easy to make. I made no changes to the original recipe and thought that it was perfect.This is very similar to shrimp dejonghe with the bread crumbs and garlic. A definate keeper.

    Simple and sensational! I soaked the scallops in milk while they defrosted, then I patted almost dry. I had some Panko, so I added some seasoning to that before breading. Sauted in butter. Served these on top of a spinach salad. We were in heaven. Lovely flavors, and a lovely presentation. Thanks for sharing one of my NEW Tried & True recipes. Definately try these!!
