I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scallops turned out really tough. The sauce was good though.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. The scallops are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is delicious. I usually serve it over rice or pasta.

I tried this recipe and I wasn't impressed. The scallops were rubbery and the sauce was too salty.

I thought this dish was just okay. The scallops were a bit overcooked and the sauce was a little bland.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great. I used frozen scallops and they worked just fine. The sauce was flavorful and the scallops were cooked perfectly. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables.

These scallops were a hit at my dinner party! The combination of spices and the sweetness of the corn and tomatoes was perfect. I will definitely be making this dish again.
