For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the cream sauce as it simmers. Ensure the scallops are patted dry before cooking to achieve a better sear and avoid a rubbery texture. Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. A dash of cayenne pepper can also be added for an extra kick.

Feb 26, 2025My only suggestion is to not overcook the scallops. They can become rubbery very quickly. Other than that, it was perfect!
