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.

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:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid any scallops that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Season the scallops with salt and pepper, or your favorite spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Cook the scallops over high heat for a short amount of time. This will help them to caramelize on the outside and remain tender on the inside.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Unwrapped bacon scallops are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal.
