This dish was just okay. The scallops were a bit bland and the sauce was too heavy.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my scallops turned out rubbery. I think I may have overcooked them.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but the scallops were cooked perfectly. I would try it again with a lighter sauce.

The scallops were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was still very good. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the scallops for a shorter amount of time.
