Ingredients
- 1 pound scallops about 15
- 1/2 pound bacon medium thickness (about 8 slices)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare baking sheet by lining it with foil or parchment paper.
- Rinse the scallops in cold water. Remove the "foot" from the scallops. Pat dry with paper towel.
- Cut the bacon to fit around the scallops. The size of the scallops will determine how long you cut the bacon strips. Use a toothpick to secure the bacon to the scallop. Thinner cut bacon will "stretch" more easily.
- Place baking sheet in oven and bake for for about 7-8 minutes until the bacon is cooked and crisp. Turn halfway, and bake for an additional 7-8 minutes..
- Transfer scallops to a paper towel lined plate to dab off excess grease before serving. Remove the toothpick and replace with a fresh skewer or decorative bamboo pick.
Notes
- Choose scallops that are about 2 bites. Size 10-20 scallops means you'll get about 15 scallops per pound.
- If you want to use long skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes so they won't burn under the broiler.
- If not, secure with a toothpick, then remove the toothpick after broiling and replace with a fresh cocktail pick or skewer.
- The thickness of the bacon will determine how many slices you'll need.
