This recipe was fantastic! I reduced the butter from 1/2 cup to 2 TBS and used it first in a sautee for two minutes with the garlic and ginger to enhance their flavors before adding the wine and vegetable stock. Near the end I added a bit of parmesan, lemon pepper and cornstarch which resulted in a richer, thicker sauce. Thank you for the great recipe! Read More

Sorry but I was hoping for so much more from this recipe. Made exactly as written however something is missing in the ginger/butter sauce. Secondly the sauce is way to thin. Even if it was thickened with cornstarch as others suggested I can't see much improvement. Read More

This recipe was a big hit. I reduced the amount of butter and 'sweated' the vegetables first then added stock and thickened a bit with corn starch before adding in the scallops and prawns. Delicious and will definitely cook it again. Thanks. Read More

Mmmmm....this was so good! The only thing I added was a squeeze of lemon at the end which it needed hence the four stars instead of five. So delicious! Read More
