SCALLOPS WRAPPED IN BACON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the bacon strips on the parchment paper and bake until just beginning to get golden around the edges but still very pliable, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the scallops on all sides with the Essence and salt. Wrap each scallop in 1 piece of the bacon, securing it through the center with a bamboo skewer. Repeat with the remaining scallops.
- When the grill is hot, brush the grates lightly with oil, then place the scallops on the grill and cook, turning frequently, until just cooked through about 7 minutes total. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish each scallop with a dab of the butter and serve immediately.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450ºF.
- Combine the scallops and the teriyaki sauce in a shallow bowl and marinate for about 15 minutes minimum, I usually go all the way to 1 hour if I use whole scallops.
- While the scallops are marinating, line up half of the water chestnuts on a plate or on your cutting board. Optional, place a slice of the pickled ginger on each one, then top with another slice of water chestnut. Place a marinated scallop on top of the water chestnut tower. If using whole sea scallops, you will be placing the sliced water chestnut on the side of the scallop.
- Spread the bacon slices out on a cutting board, as many as you have room for. Place a water chestnut-scallop tower on the end of a bacon slice, then roll the bacon around the tower - you should have 2 bacon sides and 2 exposed water chestnut scallop sides. Put a toothpick through the tower to hold the bacon in place.
- If using whole scallops you will actually roll the bacon around the scallop, just as you wrap bacon around a Fillet Mignon, placing the water chestnut between the bacon and the scallop, using the toothpicks to hold the wrapped bacon slice, and chestnut.
- Arrange the bacon-wrapped scallops on a broiler pan or a rack on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven for 15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
- The key ingredient to getting this recipes unique flavor is using Apple Wood Smoked, Peppered, thick slice bacon.
