Pour 1/4 cup hot sauce into it---then back into remaining sauce. Return to very low heat to thicken, stirring for 2 minutes. Then with more cream if necessary. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
Cut scallops crosswise into pieces. Blend 2/3 of sauce with scallops and mushrooms. Butter 6 shells or ramekins. Spoon in mixture and cover with rest of sauce. Freeze.
To serve: defrost. Sprinkle with grated Swiss cheese. Dot with 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, cut in 6 pieces.
Set 8 inches from broiler and broil until browned--about 15 minutes.
