Turned out wonderful! Just like a restaurant-style dish. The microwave is great for cooking scallops.

I'm getting ready to make this again for supper. It was soo easy and delicious. I served this over no-yolk egg noodles. This time I am also going to saute some zucchini w/ sesame seeds as a side dish.
