While the instructions were crystal clear, the cooking time was much longer than the 20 minutes indicated. Further, the dish was overly sweet. I enjoy the taste of scallops and the sugar covered the scallop taste completely. It should enhance, not overpower. I will not make this particular recipe again. I will look for another one.

Paula's recipe for Caramel Glazed Sea Scallops was wonderful! The family loved it served on a bed of rice topped with parsley. The sauce oozed over the rice. Yummy.
And regarding the recipe - I don't know - it was very clear to me. When reading the negative reviews with reference to the difficulty in understanding the instructions, I don't see the problem.
The recipe plainly says the sugar is "divided". "Combine 3 tablespoons of sugar, water and corn syrup". That mixture is "simmered to thicken" and reserved (set aside for later use.
The remaining 1/2 cup of sugar? It plainly says "coat sea scallops with 1/2 cup of sugar". The reserved glaze (that sugar, water and corn syrup is used after everything is cooked. It is poured over the finished scallops. "Spoon some of the glaze over the top."
So, it's too bad this recipe's star score is lowered by not understanding the directions. I can see down rating for taste - but to me the recipe was very clear.

My neighbor gave me a pound of scallops this morning, I found this recipe and made it for my husband we both thought they were so good I called my neighbor and told her to get right over here, she did and agreed with us they are the best.
