Yummy good. I towel dried the scallops very well. Then I did a very light coat of flour salt pepper and a pinch of sugar for more of a crispness. If you can find dry scallops no need for the flour. I did brown the scallops removed them to make the sauce the added them back to the sauce just to warm. Didn`t want to overcook them.<br/>I did use fresh clemintines, white wine in place of the vermouth. I did add the lemon but see no need for it. And the directions # 6<br/>Add mandarin juice, green onions, and wedge of lemon and let stand for 1 minute. No Green onions in the ingredients. Between the onion and scallots no need for the green onions.<br/>Cheers! made for the Lively Lemon Lovelies of ZWT #8
