"This is a great and easy recipe.I used this recipe when i misplaced skewers that I'd planned to use to grill the scallops.The dish turned out even better than i figured it would. I used a splash of Hennessey instead of white wine for the sauce. Thanks again for posting such an excellent recipe!" - cfstorm

    i tried using panko instead of crumbs. they didnt stick, and then burned in the pan, which spoiled the sauce. next time id add an egg wash, and a bit of garlic and say sauce.

    It was good but the crumbs didn't stick to the scallops. I used high fiber instead of bread. My wife said it was: Different! Ha,ha!!

    Very easy recipe that tastes great, be careful not to over cook the scallops though

    We add a little soy sauce to ours for a little flavor, and no rice this time. Fabulous!

    It's a simple recipe for a novice cook- just about the flavor for a mild scallop seasoning- it doesn't hide the flavor of the scallop.

    Just had this tonight, mixed the Panko bread crumbs with seasoned regular bread crumbs, dipped scallops in an egg wash and all the bread crumbs stayed on. Served them over rice pilaf. Yum will cook this agsin

    Super easy and was better than any scallops I've eaten at a restaurant. Not to mention the comfort of home ;) Bed of fresh spinach, whole wheat linguini, scallops that were topped off with sauce in which I added approx. 8 oz of Alfredo. YUM eeeee!

    Anything with this much butter has to taste good.

    Tasty recipe. The Panko bread crumbs did not adhere to the scallops as I hoped, but they were great as part of the sauce. I would fix these again

    Simple and delicious, although the breadcrumbs fell off the scallops when I was frying.
    Still turned out delicious. Will definitely cook this again.

    I used panko also and they all fell off during the cooking proses. Am going to try the seasoned bread crumbs next time. We loved the recipe and will try again. The lemon was a good addition also.

    Great recipe! Used panko bread crumbs and added a squeeze of lime since I was out of lemons. Yum!
