Bacon Wrapped Scallops
Description
This recipe starts with large sea scallops patted dry, each wrapped tightly with half-slices of bacon secured by toothpicks. A glaze mixture of maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper is brushed onto the scallops before broiling. The broiling cooks the scallops and crisps the bacon while the glaze caramelizes, adding sweet and savory notes.
The cooking time under the broiler is about 10 to 15 minutes, with an additional glaze application halfway through to maximize flavor and gloss. The parsley garnish adds a fresh herbal finish that contrasts with the richness of bacon and scallops.
This makes an elegant appetizer or party dish. The combination of tender seafood with smoky, sticky bacon is distinctive. Serve immediately after broiling for best texture. The recipe uses common ingredients but the glaze adds a nice balance of flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds sea scallops patted dry, large
- 1 pound Bacon slices cut in half crosswise
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Wrap a slice of bacon around each scallop and secure with a toothpick. Arrange the scallops in a single layer on the baking pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Brush half the mixture over the top of each of the scallops.
- Broil for 10-15 minutes, or until bacon is crisp and scallops are cooked through. Brush the remaining sauce over the scallops halfway through the cook time.
- Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.
