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.

- 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 400 degrees. Melt butter and wine together, when melted add paprika, seasoned salt, and lemon juice. Drop scallops into melted wine and butter sauce. Allow scallops to marinade for about 30 minutes. Wrap each scallop with half piece of bacon, and fasten bacon with a toothpick. Place wrapped scallops onto a baking sheet, and bake in the oven for about 8 minutes, then turn over and bake for another 8 minutes or until the scallops are opaque.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use sea scallops that are all about the same size.
- For a crispy bacon wrap, cook the bacon until it is just shy of your desired crispness. The bacon will continue to cook while the scallops are baking.
- Be careful not to overcook the scallops. They should be cooked through but still slightly tender in the center.
- If you don't have heavy cream on hand, you can substitute milk or half and half. However, the sauce will be thinner.
- Garnish the scallops with fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, before serving.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped sea scallops served on creamy Brie sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are cooked to perfection and the Brie sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
