I used this recipe and another to combine some elements. Loved this recipe for including artichoke hearts and spinach. I used another that added 1/2 cup white wine or (College Inn chicken broth with wine and herbs), and added to the vegetables. I also seared scallops first in just 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon light butter. I added 3 garlic cloves to the vegetable mixture rather then the scallops, chopped fresh parsley and some dried basil plus some extra seasoning. I have found and mail order Penzey seasonings as I have found them to be very good. I used a teaspoon of their Mural of Flavor and sprinkled on Old World at the end too. This is a favorite seafood recipe. I think I like dry bay scallops as much or more the the large ones. This is a keeper to make again and again.

I read all of the comments and used them all. This recipe was a great basic recipe that can be spruced up however you want. I doubled the garlic and included fresh basil and parsley when adding the spinach, tomatoes, and artichoke hearts. I also had drained the scallops before adding some sherry and crushed red pepper flakes. Delicious! Thanks!

This was very easy to make and the taste was pretty good. I think it needs a little kicking up. Next time I'll try it with some fresh herbs and more garlic. It's good served over pasta.

Wonderfully light and refreshing summer dish. Very simple and quick to make. I used a little more garlic and salt and pepper than called for but otherwise followed exactly. Thanks for the great recipe, East Coast Nellie!
