"Great dinner! Served with salad for a very filling meal. With the new Points Plus system this is 6 pts, adding my salad and fruit for dessert - still very do-able! Thanks for sharing!"

"What a great find!

This was a very a wonderful dish. The I chose to add some shrimp to our dish along with the scallops.

What I loved about this dish was not only was it good but you could make this dish during the week for a memorable dinner."

"Wow! This is wonderful. I thought the sweet potatoes were just awesome. I only stuffed 1/2 of the potato with the mixture. I have never thought to combine ginger with them. It really gives them the WOW factor. The scallops were good but the potatoes were outstanding. Next time I will add some red pepper flakes on the scallops or maybe sprinkle on some cayenne pepper, just to spice them up a bit. Thanks KateL for posting."
