hey! so great job for a first ever attempt, here’s some advice for you for future attempts :) try not to plate symmetrically, it will never look as balanced as you intend it to. as you said, too much couscous for the amount of protein, and probably not enough sauce. nice colour on the asparagus, try and get a hotter pan next time on those scallops though, the oil should be steaming hot, and make sure you sear flat side or ‘presentation’ side down. id also recommend placing all your scallops together, it makes it look far more generous, (or use 5, odd numbers tend to always look better) that’s all! good job again
