Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 slices applewood smoked bacon or other thick-cut bacon
12 (U-10 size) sea scallops
2 tablespoons Essence, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 (6-inch) bamboo skewers, soaked in warm water for about 30 minutes
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the bacon strips on the parchment paper and bake until just beginning to get golden around the edges but still very pliable, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Season the scallops on all sides with the Essence and salt. Wrap each scallop in 1 piece of the bacon, securing it through the center with a bamboo skewer. Repeat with the remaining scallops.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Bacon     Appetizers

Time 1h33m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ cup maple syrup
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 large sea scallops, halved
12 slices smoked bacon, halved
24 toothpicks
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Stir together maple syrup, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard in a bowl until smooth. Add the scallops, and toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate at least one hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with a sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Arrange bacon pieces on baking sheet so they do not overlap. Bake in preheated oven until some of the grease has rendered out of the bacon; the bacon should still be very soft and pliable, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon from the baking sheet and pat with paper towels to remove excess grease. Drain or wipe grease from the baking sheet.
  • Wrap each scallop piece with a piece of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Place onto baking sheet. Sprinkle the scallops with brown sugar.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the scallops are opaque and the bacon is crisp, 10 to 15 minutes, turning once.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh scallops, bacon, and vegetables will result in a more flavorful dish.
  • Use a cast iron skillet or grill pan. This will help to sear the scallops and bacon and create a nice crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the scallops and bacon will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the scallops and bacon over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops are best when they are cooked just until they are opaque in the center.
  • Serve the scallops and bacon immediately. They are best when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Turkey bacon wrapped scallops are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your friends and family.
