This recipe was yummy and made Big Papi say "thank you for dinner." My contribution to the recipe is that I added a pinch of crushed red pepper to the sauce after it had reduced...it added a depth of heat which was good. Loved the shallots in the recipe, I wish more recipes called for shallots, those spicy hot onion devils! Where I failed: I had a ton of scallops so ended up tripling the recipe. Dumb. It made way too much sauce and topping, which I then used because I felt bad about the waste. Do not triple the recipe. Ever. Also, my scallops went from what started off as a seemingly good sear to a poach. That was a shame. Again, not recipe's fault, cook's error.
