Bacon Wrapped Scallops

Peggy

Hi. Tonight I'm going to cook some bacon wrapped scallops. Does anyone have a favorite recipe?

Peggy,
I've never done bacon wrapped scallops before. I usually blacken my scallops. I coat them lightly with blackened seasonings then cook them on a cast iron skillet at 500 degrees for 3 minutes per side for sea scallops.[p]Let us know how your bacon wrapped scallops turned out.[p]Beers,[p]Mr Beer

Wise One,thanks for follow-up. I had already started my scallops. They were out of this world!!! All I did was microwave a pound of bacon on 50% power for 5 minutes and on high for 2 minutes to precook. I took 1.2 pounds of scallops and seasoned with pepper and Old Bay. Since my scallops were very large, I cut each one on half and wrapped one half slice of bacon around the scallop and secured with a toothpick. I placed them in a grill basket and cooked at 500 for 3/4 minutes per side. I used hickory to smoke and I'll tell you, this simple dish was fit for company. My husband said it was TOO good for company.

Peggy, I have tried bacon wrapped scallops about every imaginable way. And every way is absolutely fantastic. My 18-year old son and I will sit and eat a pound by ourselves. Just a little cocktail sauce, a bacon wrapped scallop and I'm in heaven. [p]Also, good are the bacon wrapped chesse-filled jalapenos.

Stogie,[p]I made a bunch of scallops last Thanksgiving and did half with bacon and half with prosciutto. I was surprised at how many guests preferred the prosciutto. Actually, the recipe I used was similar to the one you post above. I'll have to try your recipe out.[p]As for my personal preference, there'll always be room in my heart for both bacon and prosciutto...[p]
Later,

Cornfed,[p]I much prefer the proscuitto as well. Nowhere near the hassles of bacon and still very tasty.[p]I like the sweetness of the honey to counter the salty proscuitto.[p]Hope you enjoy it![p]Stogie
