Solidly great. I would like to add another half star. I used the cast iron pan and got it really hot before putting in the scallops. I also cut down the honey by half. After straining out the tea leaves and putting the sauce back into the pan, I threw the rice noodles in and gave them a toss in the sauce before putting the scallops back in. This will go into the seafood/fish rotation. Thanks.

    My husband took one bite and announced that this was one of the best dinners I have made. Since I had no orange juice, I used pineapple juice. Next time, and there will be many next times, I want to try the orange juice to see the difference. The pineapple juice and the rest of the spices were very subtle.Good thing I had a new knee high stocking to strain the solids out of the sauce. VERY Yummy!

    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.
