I used med sized scallops for this recipe. The only change I would suggest would be to reduce the liquids by half before adding them to mushrooms, shallots and garlic mixture. At the end, if you happened to have some heavy cream, it would add another layer of richness to the sauce. But, the cream isn't essential to the yummy dish.http://www.epicurious.com/tools/searchresults?search=Sea+Scallops+with+Mushrooms+and+Sherry&x=0&y=0
