This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I was able to fix it by rinsing the scallops before cooking them. The sauce was also a bit too sweet, but I was able to balance it out by adding a bit of lemon juice.

I used shrimp instead of scallops, and it turned out great! The shrimp cooked quickly, and the sauce was just as delicious. I will definitely be making this dish again with shrimp.
