Bacon-wrapped Scallops

Everyone loves their morning bacon, but you can use bacon in many other recipes, for example, these bacon-wrapped scallops. The crispy and greasy bacon adds a buttery and smoky flavor to the scallops, and the end result is always heavenly, especially when they are grilled.

To make perfect grilled bacon-wrapped scallops, first you have to make sure that the scallops are tightly wrapped with the bacon. On the grill, remember to keep turning the skewers to get an even char on the bacon (you have to turn the skewers sideways so the bacon is in direct contact with the heat source to char nicely). Last but not least, do not overcook the scallops as they might lose all the natural sweetness and become rubbery.


Ingredients:
Makes 12 | Prep Time: 15 Minutes | Cook Time: 10 Minutes

10 oz scallops
12 pieces bacon
Cayenne pepper
Salt

Method:

1. Wrap the bacon around a scallop nicely and secure tightly with a metal skewer. You may thread two of them onto a skewer. Season both the surfaces of the scallop with some salt and cayenne pepper.
2. Heat up the grill and place the bacon-wrapped scallops on the grill.
3. Keep turning the scallops until the bacon becomes charred, brown and slightly crispy. Turn the skewers around so the bacon is grilled with direct heat.
5. Grill until the bacon becomes nicely charred all around. Serve immediately.
