We liked this a lot. I made it with bay scallops and dried herbs. The sauce reduced nicely and was good on the pasta I made which was a curly one (forgot the name). We like grated Parmesan cheese on top. Thanks for a nice easy and quick way to prepare scallops.

    this turned out SO GOOD! I added some Alaska White Fish,too. And served on a bed of curvy wheat pasta and saute'd spinach. We will be having this again - and again - and again!

    This recipe was excellent! I added about a cup of mushrooms to the scallops while cooking and that created enough liquid to serve over linguine. The combination of the spices and wine gave this dish such a nice flavor. I will definitely prepare this again. Thanks!

    Served this over angel hair pasta -very good. I recommend increasing the spices and sherry, though. I didn't think there was enough sauce.
