Scallops and Mushrooms (Pan Seared)

This is a DELICIOUS recipe that is EASY to make, and is also LOW CARB and LOW SUGAR for people that are DIABETIC. I usually serve my Bok Choy recipe with this as one of the side dishes.

I love scallops and mushrooms together, so I had to try this recipe. The cream sherry is a great addition. It's a good thing that I also love garlic and black pepper...lol. I never thought I'd say this, but I think there was too much garlic and black pepper. I didn't even use the full 1 tbsp of garlic powder and only used about 1 1/2 tsp black pepper and I still thought it overpowered the delicate, sweet taste of the scallops. This is certainly worth making again, but next time I will use only the fresh garlic, cut the salt in half and only use about 1/2 tsp black pepper. Thanx for sharing this recipe!Reply
