This dish was amazing! The scallops were cooked to perfection and the sugar snap peas were still slightly crunchy. The sauce was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this dish again.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used frozen scallops and sugar snap peas, and it still turned out great. The sauce was perfect.
