CYNTHIA AND LAURA’S BACON-WRAPPED SCALLOPS


CYNTHIA AND LAURA’S BACON-WRAPPED SCALLOPS

 

Grill, and remove before crispy:
 
1 lb (454g) low-salt bacon
Remove to tray lined with paper towel; blot out excess grease.
Cut bacon in half length-wise (kitchen scissors work well for this).
Sprinkle scallops with:
seasoned pepper, and
lemon juice
Wrap bacon around scallops and secure with a toothpick.
At this point, may refrigerate until cooking time.
Preheat broiler; place scallops on broiler pan, broil 6 to 8 minutes (if un-refrigerated) OR 8 to 10 minutes (if refrigerated).
Turn scallops so bacon will brown evenly on all sides.
To serve, remove toothpicks from scallops, and arrange with lemon wedges or slices and watercress as garnish.
Serve with rice, fresh tomatoes and green beans or asparagus (or a stir-fry).
 
FoodNote:
Experiment: some people have great success without pre-cooking the bacon.
