I thought this recipe was just okay. The scallops were a bit overcooked and the sauce was a bit too lemony.

This recipe was too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scallops turned out rubbery. I'll have to try this recipe again.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The scallops are perfectly complemented by the tangy sauce and the sauteed spinach adds a nice touch of bitterness.
