  1. I don’t know what went wrong, I followed the recipe exactly but my scallops were soggy and mostly tasted like chili powder! Maybe my gas oven’s broiler wasn’t powerful enough? Sadly, not impressed with this one.
     
  2. Yummy! This one's a keeper thanks for sharing.
     
  3. Easy to make and a different taste for scallops. The lemon flavor was very pronounced and perhaps a little too zing-y for my taste.
