  1. Served this over angel hair pasta -very good. I recommend increasing the spices and sherry, though. I didn't think there was enough sauce.
     
  2. This recipe was excellent! I added about a cup of mushrooms to the scallops while cooking and that created enough liquid to serve over linguine. The combination of the spices and wine gave this dish such a nice flavor. I will definitely prepare this again. Thanks! :)
     
  3. Great recipe!!!!I had this with rice and it went along with the other recipes that I made. It was like a smorgasbord of scallops and shrimp at my house. Thank you so much!!!
     
  4. MmmmmmmmMmmmmmmmm!!! Sooo Good!! We love scallops and this was a great way to serve them. Love the tarragon and oregano combination, a little different. I used sea scallops and cut them up, lemon is one of my favourite flavours and really made this recipe, of course the Sherry helped too, made a nice rich taste. This one will certainly be going in my hard copy, thanks for sharing.

  1. I made this last night and it was fantastic! I used white wine instead of sherry and served it over linguini noodles. What a hit! I'll have to remember this one to make again. It took NO time at all. :)

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
