Scallops Wrapped in Bacon


You’ve had these as canapés and appetizers, but they are also great as an entrée, serving three to four per person.
They’re totally delicious. I mean, with bacon and maple syrup, what’s to not like? And it’s so easy to make that it’s almost a crime to write a recipe for the dish.
Sure, they're rich, but try it. I guarantee you’ll like it (unless you don’t like scallops or bacon or butter or maple syrup).
Ingredients
  • SCALLOPS, 12, large
  • BACON, 6 slices, cut in half
  • BUTTER, 1 tablespoon
  • MAPLE SYRUP
Directions
  1. Rinse and pat-dry the scallops.
  2. Wrap the scallops with bacon and secure with toothpicks.
  3. Place on sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  4. Top with pea-sized pat of butter.
  5. Broil 20-30 minutes at 425°, turning once, until bacon is cooked.
  6. Remove from oven and drizzle with maple syrup.
