"This is super easy and really good. This was one of the first dishes I started making when I moved out on my own and it's still one of my favorites. It's from the Favorite Brand Names Cookbook."

I followed the above suggestion and added some garlic, I also used 1/2 cup of the juices from the thawed scallops to mix in with the water. Delicious recipe, and not very expensive at all. Will definitely make this one again and tinker around with it.

I made this the other night for my daughter and myself for dinner and it was really good. The only changes made were to add some shrimp with the scallops and some garlic, black pepper and a sprinkle of parmesan. My son ate some of the leftovers the next day. Everyone agreed it was a make again dish.
