Bacon-Wrapped Scallops

User Rating4.0 out of 5 (2 Reviews)  Write a Review

A delicious appetizer.

Ingredients:

  • 24 large sea scallops (about 2 lbs.)
  • 12 slices partially cooked bacon
  • Seasoned pepper

Preparation:

Cook bacon gently until partially cooked but not crisp and still very flexible. Rinse scallops with running cold water, pat dry with paper towels. Cut each bacon slice crosswise in half; wrap each half around a scallop, securing with a toothpick. Sprinkle scallops lightly with seasoned pepper. Preheat broiler. Place scallops on rack in broiling pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until scallops turn opaque throughout, using tongs to turn scallops frequently so bacon will brown evenly on all sides.
