I'm allergic to oranges, so I used lemon juice instead. It was still delicious, but I think the orange juice would have been better.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover scallops. I had some from a seafood boil and they were perfect for this dish.

I didn't have any sesame seeds, so I used crushed almonds instead. It was still really good!

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was still delicious. I'll be sure to adjust the cooking time next time.
