Categories     appetizer

Time 26m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 jumbo raw peeled deveined shrimp, 16 to 20 count per pound
12 large sea scallops, trimmed and well drained
1 lime, juiced and zested
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon grill seasoning or coarse salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
12 slices center cut or applewood smoked bacon, cut in 1/2
Toothpicks
3 scallions, very thinly sliced on an angle

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Place shrimp and scallops in a shallow dish or bowl. Dress seafood with lime juice and zest, a generous drizzle of sesame oil, grill seasoning and hot pepper flakes. Wrap each shrimp and scallop with a half slice of bacon. Wrap each shrimp working from head to tail, pulling bacon snuggly around the shrimp. Wrap the bacon around the outside of each scallop. Fasten bacon in place as necessary with picks.
  • Arrange the shrimp and scallops on a slotted baking pan, such as a broiler pan, to allow draining while bacon crisps. Bake shrimp and scallops 10 to 14 minutes, until shrimp is pink and curled, scallops are opaque and bacon is crisp. Shrimps may finish before the scallops.
  • Arrange cooked seafood on platter and sprinkle with chopped scallions.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Juice of 1 lemon
1 clove garlic, grated

1 teaspoon fresh thyme
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 pound (about 24) large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails intact
12 slices bacon, halved

Steps:

  • Position a rack 3 to 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Whisk the lemon juice, garlic, paprika, thyme, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow baking dish. Add the shrimp and toss to coat; marinate in the refrigerator, 20 minutes.

Time 1h33m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ cup maple syrup
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 large sea scallops, halved
12 slices smoked bacon, halved
24 toothpicks
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Stir together maple syrup, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard in a bowl until smooth. Add the scallops, and toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate at least one hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with a sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Arrange bacon pieces on baking sheet so they do not overlap. Bake in preheated oven until some of the grease has rendered out of the bacon; the bacon should still be very soft and pliable, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon from the baking sheet and pat with paper towels to remove excess grease. Drain or wipe grease from the baking sheet.
  • Wrap each scallop piece with a piece of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Place onto baking sheet. Sprinkle the scallops with brown sugar.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the scallops are opaque and the bacon is crisp, 10 to 15 minutes, turning once.

Tips:

  • Prep the Seafood: Before starting, ensure the scallops and shrimp are cleaned and deveined. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Choose Quality Bacon: Opt for thick-cut bacon slices to provide a substantial wrap and enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Season Wisely: Use a flavorful combination of spices to season the seafood. Garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper are classic choices. Experiment with other herbs and spices to suit your taste.
  • Wrap Technique: Wrap each scallop and shrimp tightly with a bacon slice. Make sure the seafood is completely covered to ensure even cooking and prevent it from falling apart.
  • Cooking Temperature: For crispy bacon and succulent seafood, maintain a medium-high heat throughout the cooking process. This will help sear the bacon and cook the seafood quickly without overcooking it.
  • Garlic Butter Sauce: Elevate the dish with a simple yet delicious garlic butter sauce. Combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and fresh parsley. Drizzle the sauce over the cooked seafood for an extra burst of flavor.
