Instructions
- Place short wooden skewers in water to soak for 30 minutes.
- Place bacon in a frying pan and cook about 3-4 minute per side or until just slightly cooked and some of the fat has rendered out. Bacon should not be crisp.
- Pat the scallops dry with paper towel and season with salt & pepper to taste.
- Wrap bacon around the scallops and thread 2 to 3 scallops onto each skewer leaving a little bit of space between each scallop.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic, parsley, and lemon pepper. Brush over scallops.
- Place an oven rack 6-inches from the broiler and Preheat the broiler to high heat.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Place the scallops on the prepared pan and broil for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping over after 3 minutes. Cook just until bacon is crisp and scallops are cooked through, do not overcook.
Notes
- If scallops are really large you might need 1 slice of bacon per scallop. If they are smaller, you may only need ½ slice of bacon per scallop. Optionally, if the scallops are small, you can wrap two scallops in one slice of bacon.
- Soaking skewers in water for 30 minutes ensures they do not burn.
- To Grill: Preheat grill to medium heat. Add scallop skewers and grill 6-8 minutes or just until bacon is crispy. Do not overcook.
