really good
I am not a fan of seafood, so I substituted the scallops for tofu. I loved this recipe and I look forward to having some leftovers for work tomorrow. I will definitely use this recipe again sometime soon!

It's Ok
Not too bad. I enjoyed it but used shrimp instead of scallops. I think that 1/2 cup of peanut butter is a bit much. It's too over powering for the dish. Overall I like like it.

We made this recipe several times over the past month. It's quite good. I double the red pepper sauce to give it a little more kick.
