The taste was wonderful, like right up my alley as far as flavors go with garlic, citrus, and scallops. The sauce was maybe just a little bit too sweet. This is a premium meal and was something like $10 extra per serving, but I had a bunch of credits to use up so I figured I’d go for it. My big complaint here, is for all the extra money that you pay for this premium meal we only got 7 scallops total. I have 4 in this bowl, but that means that the other bowl only has 3 scallops. I did not weigh the package, I should have, but I think that maybe just a little bit more for the amount of extra money paid would be more reasonable (like 10oz vs the states 8oz).

This looks really nice, but I don’t know how anyone can find these premium meals to be a reasonable value without special discounts. You essentially pay $40 for this meal and you get a standard HF recipe + $8 worth of scallops and maybe $2 of other slightly “premium” ingredients (estimating very generously here). At this price point you could almost get the same meal at a nice restaurant. The recipe isn’t even introducing any new “techniques” that you could learn from it, but the same time it is a pretty high effort with lots of separate components to make.
I also got only 7 scallops, but I also added shrimp to stretch the meal a little more. I would agree it’s not worth the upcharge but I liked making the gastrique, it came out delicious and I think I’ll just make that again on its own. It was very sweet, I will agree.
Nice pup :]
With mash? blech.
