Sweet-and-Sour Scallops

Sweet-and-Sour Scallops
Although it's pretty enough to be from a restaurant, this dish is filled with homemade flavor and puts a delicious twist on a classic. “This meal will change your traditional way of serving sweet and sour. The scallops are so tender, they practically melt in your mouth.” Tonya Michelle Burkhard - Davis, IL
