The scallops were a little overcooked for my liking, but the citrus marinade was delicious. I would definitely try this recipe again, but I would cook the scallops for a shorter amount of time.

These scallops were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more salt and pepper to the marinade.
