Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 large sea scallops, cut into quarters
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
48 slices water chestnuts
24 slices pickled ginger
12 slices bacon, thickly sliced and cut in half
24 toothpicks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450ºF.
  • Combine the scallops and the teriyaki sauce in a shallow bowl and marinate for about 15 minutes.
  • While the scallops are marinating, line up half of the water chestnuts on a plate or on your cutting board. Place a slice of the pickled ginger on each one, then top with another slice of water chestnut. Place a marinated scallop on top of the water chestnut tower.
  • Spread the bacon slices out on a cutting board, as many as you have room for. Place a water chestnut-scallop tower on the end of a bacon slice, then roll the bacon around the tower - you should have 2 bacon sides and 2 exposed water chestnut scallop sides. Put a toothpick through the tower to hold the bacon in place.
  • Arrange the bacon-wrapped scallops on a broiler pan or a rack on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven for 15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.

Time 26m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 jumbo raw peeled deveined shrimp, 16 to 20 count per pound
12 large sea scallops, trimmed and well drained

BACON-WRAPPED SCALLOPS



Bacon-Wrapped Scallops image

I found this recipe on another website and tweaked it to suit my family's tastes. We really enjoyed this recipe and hope you will too!

Provided by Dreamgoddess

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 33m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 pieces bacon
24 scallops, rinsed and patted dry
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning, to taste
1 teaspoon creole seasoning, to taste
1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • If you prefer, the bacon can be pre-cooked for a couple of minutes in the microwave to insure it will be crispy by the time the scallops are done.
  • Do not overcook the scallops as they will be rubbery.
  • Cut each piece of bacon in half to make 24 pieces.
  • Roll a piece of bacon around each scallop and secure on wooden skewers.
  • Place scallops on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with Old Bay and creole seasoning.
  • Both seasonings contain salt, so don't overdo it!
  • Amounts listed are what I used.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 15-18 minutes, or until the scallops are done.
  • The bacon should be crispy.
  • While the scallops are cooking, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar in a saucepan to make the dipping sauce.
  • Mix well and cook until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Serve the scallops with the dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality scallops. Fresh, dry-packed scallops are best. Avoid scallops that are treated with preservatives or chemicals.
  • Wrap the scallops tightly with bacon. This will help to keep the scallops moist and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Cook the scallops over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bacon from burning and the scallops from overcooking.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. This is when they are at their best, hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped scallops are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a special occasion or a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your guests.
