Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 slices applewood smoked bacon or other thick-cut bacon
12 (U-10 size) sea scallops
2 tablespoons Essence, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 (6-inch) bamboo skewers, soaked in warm water for about 30 minutes

1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

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.

TERIYAKI BACON WRAPPED SCALLOPS



Teriyaki Bacon Wrapped Scallops image

This is a delightful variation of the standard Bacon Wrapped scallop. It can be used as an appetizer, or main entree. The secret is the Apple Wood Smoked, Peppered thick slice bacon This is sure to please any seafood palate!

Provided by lstark

Categories     Savory

Time 45m

Yield 24 apetizers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 large sea scallops, cut into quarters
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
48 slices water chestnuts
24 slices pickled ginger (optional)
12 slices apple-smoked bacon, thickly sliced and cut in half
24 toothpicks

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.
