Absolutely wonderful! We cut down on the butter too just like another reviewer -- using about 4 tablespoons of butter. We also did add the optional red pepper flakes to the marinade. This was enjoyed by all over rice. Thanks for sharing!

I hesitated before posting this review, because I wasn't able to prepare it exactly as written. I had all the ingredients on hand except the scallops, but when I went to the store - they were out! So I purchased some fresh wild Halibut and continued with the recipe. I have to say the sauce is amazing! I only used 4 tablespoons of the butter, and could have stopped at 3. It was plenty rich enough! I also added quite a bit more sweet chili sauce, just out of personal preference and to overcome the lime juice (which I will cut down to 2 tablespoons next time). Regardless of the changes, this is excellent and will be made again - hopefully with some beautiful sea scallops! Hope you don't mind that I made this with Halibut... Thanks for sharing a lovely recipe!
