A few scallops

JRWesco

Cooked theses bad boys on the lodge cast iron at about 400* . Dizzy pig raging river and wraped in bacon! Turned out awesome.

They do look awesome. I just bought some myself maned love the bacon idea. Could I just cook them direct without skillet? How long and temp?

I feel ya! There tend to be some sacrificial soldiers as I pull them off the egg. )

I've cooked them on a raised grill direct wrapped in bacon before,  I don't cook them by temperature, just watch that they don't burn up. If the bacon is done they are done..

Sounds good and I understand about eating them so quick.

Those looks fabulous!!!

@Mattman3969‌ thanks man

Do you parcook the bacon at all first? It seems like bacon usually takes longer to cook than I would normally cook scallops, but I haven't tried it myself yet. Looks great.

@jerryb78‌ no precooking of the bacon, after I seared the scallops I turned bacon side down and rolled to cook bacon.

@jrwesco Ahh, nice trick.  Thanks for the explanation.  I have a hard time convincing myself to experiment with scallops when they're $25.99/lb.  I usually go with the tried and true, but I just might have to give this one a shot next time.

just picked up a bag or large frozen scallops at Costco. About $17.50 a pound.

Want to try these soon on the egg

Those look delicious. Really want to try these out but I'm the only one who would eat them.

scallops are so quick and easy, if you can find them loose by the pound, you could get enough for just you. It's a really short cook, throw them on at the end.
