Here is wise one's recipe that I tweaked.


Scallops Wrapped in Bacon
Submitted by Wise One modified by WingRider
Based on the the Bacon Wrapped Scallops done by the Cornerstone Restaurant in Fishkill, NY.
Ingredients:
Ÿ 1 LB fresh sea scallops (1 ¼ to 1 ½ “ across) (10-16 in number)
Ÿ 1 LB raw bacon (very lean center cut).
Ÿ 10-16 toothpicks soaked in water for 30 minutes
Ÿ 1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup maple syrup (the real thing and Grade B if you can find it)
Ÿ Favorite rub
Preparation:
Ÿ Marinate scallops for 4 hours lemon juice with maple syrup.
Ÿ Take a piece of bacon and wrap around the scallop securing in place with a toothpick.
Ÿ Coat the exposed ends of the scallop with a favorite rub (Paul Prudhomme’s Cajun magic or
similar.) Dizzy Pig Raging River is great
Cooking:
Ÿ Cook over a drip pan on a seafood grill for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. Turn half way through.
Ÿ Serve alone or with a favorite cocktail sauce.

What size did you buy? There are tons of ideas if you do a search for scallops.

Definitely depends on the scallop. If they are large sea scallops just dust them with your favorite spice, put a little canola oil in a non stick pan and sear each side until brown (maybe a minute a side). you don't want to overcook them or they will become tough. Make a nice salsa or a balsamic reduction with shallots. Maybe a pearl couscous or a sweet potato puree. Good stuff.J.

Roll 'em around in a little oil, little lemon juice, some minced garlic, salt, some cajun spice plus a little of your favorite rub, then cook direct at about 350*, but not too long. The shrimp is done when they curl up. The scallops will take just a little bit longer.

Twice now…I’ve done jumbo (sea scallops) on skewers, seasoned with Old Bay on both side and set to meld for a bit in the fridge, wrapped with bacon, seared and moped with a Peach / Bourbon sauce.
It worked! !
Remember…
You got to do them hot and fast, shut down the fire, then do the mop and let them set a bit.
Caution: DO NOT cook them into rubber :( !

Bourbon / Peach Barbecue Sauce for Seafood:


1/2 C. peach preserves
1/4 C. bourbon
1/4 C. chili sauce
2 t. OLD BAY® Seasoning

1)) Combine all the ingredients, bring to a boil. Reduce heat simmer for about 5 minutes (to you desired thickness)...Set aside and cool.

2)) Baste / mop this sauce, give it some time to set and serve.
