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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Wrap the scallops in bacon tightly. This will help keep the scallops moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the scallops over medium heat. This will help prevent them from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Baste the scallops with the teriyaki sauce during cooking. This will help keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. They are best when eaten fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Teriyaki bacon-wrapped scallops are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The scallops are tender and juicy, the bacon is crispy and flavorful, and the teriyaki sauce is sweet and tangy. These scallops are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
