Bacon Wrapped Diver Scallops and Figs

Phatchris

Got some big Diver scallops from the market today as well as some fresh figs and asparagus... Decided to wrap scallops in bacon, stuff figs with blue cheese and wrap in bacon, and lightly season asparagus with Evoo S&p... Everything went raised direct at 450 or so... Bacon was precooked for 10 minutes prior to wrapping.

Awesome.  I would eat myself sick on that.

Spectacular cook brother!!  I know that tasted great!  For some reason seafood cooks get less attention more often than not. Excellent job!

Hey phatchris- planning on doing some figs Saturday night as an appetizer before some filets. I was thinking goat cheese and honey wrapped in bacon. I've never done figs before but have had any restaurant to that were phenomenal.  How exactly did you stuff them? I have no idea what I'm doing here, so forgive the ignorance and walk me through this. And the pre cooking of the bacon.

Thanks!!

If you can find or make balsamic syrup it's fantastic drizzled on stuffed figs

I just sliced the figs in half, the blue cheese is so soft I just kinda smooshed it into the fig, then wrapped in precooked bacon... The figs were very ripe and sweet.

Thanks everyone!

Just the simple cheap BGE grid that rest on top of the grid... It's not perfect, but for $25 works good enough.

How long did you have the scallops and asparagus on the grill for? Everything looks fantastic!

Scallops until they were no longer opaque maybe 6/7 minutes, asparagus took a bit longer 15 mins or so.
