Delicious! I scaled down the recipe for two, added extra garlic and since I'm on a low-sodium diet didn't use the extra salt...the soy sauce was salty enough. My husband loved it. Definitely a keeper, a very easy, fast, tasty recipe. This is going in my Cookbook and will be made often. Thanks.

I only had bay scallops on hand so I used them. I also used orange juice concentrate instead of plain orange juice. I also used a lot more garlic. This was excellent over rice. Very easy to do also. Thanks for the post chia

I had a few scallop recipes to choose from and selected this one... So glad that I did! Husband is not too sure about new recipes.... Started with, it's ok.. then not bad... This is good... This is really tasty.. Pretty good and this is a make again recipe and finally,,,, the best scallops I have ever eaten. I only used half the scallops but the full amount of the sauce. I used an orange and also some ginger.A good idea to have everything ready as this is really quick... Served with fried rice..
