16 Reviews of Favorite Scallops

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.

    Great recipe!!!!I had this with rice and it went along with the other recipes that I made. It was like a smorgasbord of scallops and shrimp at my house. Thank you so much!!!

    These are now our favorite scallops, too! So fast and so tasty - we usually end up eating the scallops as soon as we get home from grocery shopping. We've added some chili flakes the last few times, and it adds a nice bit of heat. Thanks for this fast, cheap, & easy dinner!

    I made this last night and it was fantastic! I used white wine instead of sherry and served it over linguini noodles. What a hit! I'll have to remember this one to make again. It took NO time at all.

    MmmmmmmmMmmmmmmmm!!! Sooo Good!! We love scallops and this was a great way to serve them. Love the tarragon and oregano combination, a little different. I used sea scallops and cut them up, lemon is one of my favourite flavours and really made this recipe, of course the Sherry helped too, made a nice rich taste. This one will certainly be going in my hard copy, thanks for sharing.

    Tried to post this earlier but there were bugs in the system--I loved this, Ellie! My fiance and I gobbled it up. I also loved the tarragon and oregano combo. The sherry was a nice added tinge of flavor--Served with a nice cold white wine. I added some cubed portabello mushrooms and a little more of the other ingredients (ok, I improvised) and it was fantastic. We will make this many times (when we can afford the scallops!) Thanks for sharing.

    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!

    I thought this was a really good recipe. We added a little more of the spices and it was fast and really yummy. Took hardly any time to prepare, and have saved this to my cookbook! Yum!!

    I didn't have tarragon, but I did use mushrooms. I recommend adding some fish stock and a little corn starch to the recipe to make enough sauce to go over pasta. But the recipe itself makes a great appetizer for a party or intimate dinner.
