    I understand why some chefs say get dry packed scallops. Mine exuded lots of salted water which not only made it hard to get a good sear, it also was too salty. Also, I thought 2 TBS lemon juice was too much. I will make again but will be much more careful to dry out the scallops and reduce the lemon. A little red pepper might be a nice touch as well.

    Switched out the vermouth for Chardonnay and the tarragon for rosemary finely chopped, over Risotto...delicious! A repeat for sure!!!

    My husband and I truly enjoyed this recipe. I included eight large shrimp along with the scallops and the result was great. I cut the recipe in half but did fry two pieces of Nueske bacon, a Wauwatosa,Wi. favorite and that added additional flavor. This is such an easy meal to prepare, somewhat economical, and yet cheaper than eating it at a local up-scale restaurant. Served it with a side of brown rice that had scallions and toasted pecans in the mix. What a dinner!

    We didn't have any bacon on hand so I sliced some pancetta off of a slab instead and it was great. Will make it again with bacon (and with prosciutto. One of our new favorite recipes for scallops.

    We make this all of the time. It is by far, the best recipe we've found for scallops. For those that do not like the taste of vermouth, you may want to try substituting white wine or chicken broth. I happen to love the mix of vermouth and tarragon.

    I made this dish for a last minute dinner party with my boyfriend and another couple. To serve as a main course, I piled the scallops onto a bed of thinly sliced roasted potatoes and steamed spinach. Beautiful presentation, and great tasting! I omitted the vermouth, since I didn't have any on hand, but it still came out wonderful - lots of compliments. The bacon really soaks up the lemon, which can be a little overpowering (I used juice of one whole lemon, but I will definitely make this dish again!

    This recipe was so delicious! I did omit the vermouth (hate it for a little extra lemon juice and used extra olive oil not butter!!! Served with some greens no additional dressing. BUT awesome...so much flavor! I will make it again!!

    Having lived in Florida and diving for my own scallops, these (PROBABLY PREVIOUSLY FROZEN in land locked Arizona couldn't have been any better. This isn't going to be a special occasion entree, this is going to be as often as possible. Will try it with shrimp too.
