    This was very tasty! I served it over white rice just because I was out of noodles and it was great. I'm not usually crazy about citrus flavored foods but this was not overly-orangey and really very quick and easy to put together. Thanks for sharing this

    Shame on me for getting behind with this review. My grocery store erroneously listed the price of their sea scallops, and I just happened to be the first to fall into the trap and say something, my lucky day! I ended up with 2-2 lb. bags free! It's always a treat to find scallops with no added water. I'm so glad this came up first in my search on Zaar, so delicious! I'm a little embarrassed to say all I had was Red Rose tea bags, everything else was chai or some other flavor...I just poured it all right in there and the sauce,(which I doubled), without straining, was fab. I used fresh squeezed orange juice, which is always better than concentrate. The sauce was so sweet and tangy and was enough to soak the wide rice noodles to perfection. We love rice noodles, and it was great to find a recipe that called for them. Thank you for this recipe, I will be making it again, and will also use the sauce with other things. YUMMMMM!

    What an unusual recipe - but I loved this recipe, and my husband deemed it "a keeper". The loose tea I had on hand was Republic of Tea Blackberry Sage, and you could taste the subtle flavors in the sauce. I did double the sauce so we'd have extra to serve over the rice I substituted for the pasta. But the two of us easily polished off all the scallops, there's no way we could limit ourselves to 4oz each (although we may just be greedy when it comes to seafood). This was very, very good!

    I thought this was a lovely, delicious dish. The ingredients are things we have on-hand, making this recipe easy. I wish I had had a finer mesh to strain the sauce, but it was still yummy! I will make this one again.
