Bacon Wrapped Scallops

Bacon-Wrapped Scallops

Bacon-wrapped scallops – add this to my list of ‘not really a recipe, but…’ deliciousness. I hadn’t made bacon-wrapped scallops since perhaps the 90s but needed to prepare something quick for a last minute invite of friends and had bacon and scallops so I thought…old school, but why not!?

I served these with a mixture of ketchup, mayo and Sriracha as a dipping sauce and the spice was pleasant with the fatty bacon.

Ingredients

• 6 slices of thick-cut bacon
• 12 large scallops

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Cover a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.
3. Cut the bacon slices in half, lengthwise.
4. Wrap a strip of bacon around each scallop and secure the bacon with a toothpick.
5. Place the bacon-wrapped scallops on the foil-covered baking sheet and cook for 15 minutes or until the bacon is crisp.
