This is a fantastic treatment for sea scallops! They pair very nicely in an alfredo sauce like this. Thanks for making DH happy! CQ

We really enjoyed this!!! Followed the recipe with a wee exception... I added some hot pepper flakes and tossed in some left over carrots/peas. I will definately be making this again. Thank you for sharing, Lazyme!

Delicious! Love scallops and was looking for a different way to prepare them for a change. I halved the recipe and used Land O Lakes fat free half and half to cut back on some fat and it didn't compromise the flavor to me at all! Other then skipping the extra parmesan for garnish, I made this as directed and it was such a great tasting new dish I really enjoyed! Thanks for sharing :)

What a great and easy to prepare; my husband was very happy; 2 of his favorite things, scallops and Alfredo sauce. Thank you so much for posting; this one is a keeper that I will be making again.

it was alittle bland. I ended up adding garlic pepper after serving. I will try this again and "tweak" it to my tastes. TYFS
