Reviews

  1. OH MY!! Hubby and I were VERY happy with this recipe!! We did add a bit of a twist as we had just pulled some fresh green onions from the garden (used tops only) and we used the juice of a fresh lemon as well. We quartered the mushrooms and they soaked up just the right amount of the lemon/butter flavor. Every bite just got better and better. We both agreed that this was a keeper dish and one we would love to make for company!!
     
  2. Unbelievably simple, yet has great flavor -- this dish was the hit of the barbeque. I used lemon pepper a bit more liberally than the recipe calls for, and substituted cilantro for the parsley.
     
  3. 5 star all the way - I prepared individual pkgs earlier in the day then popped them in a 375F oven 20 minutes before serving - I vented each with a small hole on top of the paackage. I did cut back on the butter - the garlic is Mmmm Thanks Kathy for all that you do as well as postingr this lovely easy recipe
     
  4. My husband and I thought this was one of the best recipes I had made in awhile. This just did it for us. The only change I made was to use lemon zest and squeezed a 1/2 a lemon over each serving b/c I don't really like lemon pepper seasoning. Then I did salt & pepper to taste and it was just absolutely delicious. After 12 minutes I went and pulled back the foil to peek, and the scallops were perfectly done. Thanks so much for posting this!
     
  5. This was really good. I did change the procedure a lot. I put baby scallops and shrimp (about 50 count) into a pan then added the sauce and finely chopped mushrooms. This I put on the BBQ and cooked for about 12 min or so. I like to watch seafood cook as it can be overdone very quickly. Served in an escargot dish with plenty of bread, it was quite a meal. Loved it. Thanks kathydesrosiers

Tweaks

  1. If you don't have a grill - so I took another reviewers suggestion and baked these in a 375 oven for 20 minutes on a baking sheet. And I remembered to put a steam hole in the foil. Also - some reviewers said that they were a bit bland - so I added 1 Tablespoon of Mrs. Dash Original Seasoning to each packet. Yum!!!! Not bland any more.
     
  2. I used fresh ground pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest in place of the lemon pepper.
     
  3. Unbelievably simple, yet has great flavor -- this dish was the hit of the barbeque. I used lemon pepper a bit more liberally than the recipe calls for, and substituted cilantro for the parsley.
