The recipe was pretty good but there were no directions as to how hot to get the pan before adding the scallops. Later it says to saute, which implies a lower heat, but it seems sacrilegious to cook scallops without searing them, so I seared them on one side then added the garlic, etc. Adding the lemon made a really nice gravy-like sauce but it was way too tart. I think a couple of tablespoons of seafood or chicken broth with just a squeeze of lemon juice would have been perfect. Of course, wine would have been great, but then you're adding more calories. I might come back and tweak this recipe one day.

These scallops are terrific and took no time to make. I used less garlic but I recommend that you use the full amount. I agree that a splash of white wine would have been a nice addition. We had the scallops on a bed of brown rice pasta tossed with a touch of butter and fresh parmesan. It would have presented better if I used a coloured pasta, but it still tasted great! Made for Zaar Stars tag game. Enjoy! :)

This is so good! I had to use bay scallops because my husband can't read the word "sea", and I had forgotten to look. Anyway, it still turned out delicious. What I liked the most about this recipe, and the reason why it got the full five stars, is that the flour, oil and lemon juice actually formed a gravy'-like sauce that was so good. I also think this would be very good wih dry sherry or white wine instead of the lemon juice or as part of the liquid. Fast, easy and delicious!
