Bacon Wrapped Scallops Recipe In The Oven

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.

BACON-WRAPPED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• If you prefer, the bacon can be pre-cooked for a couple of minutes in the microwave to insure it will be crispy by the time the scallops are done.
• Do not overcook the scallops as they will be rubbery.
• Cut each piece of bacon in half to make 24 pieces.
• Roll a piece of bacon around each scallop and secure on wooden skewers.
• Place scallops on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with Old Bay and creole seasoning.
• Both seasonings contain salt, so don't overdo it!
• Amounts listed are what I used.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 15-18 minutes, or until the scallops are done.
• The bacon should be crispy.
• While the scallops are cooking, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar in a saucepan to make the dipping sauce.
• Mix well and cook until the sugar is dissolved.
• Serve the scallops with the dipping sauce.

BACON WRAPPED SCALLOPS RECIPE IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to the Broil setting. Place an oven-safe rack over a baking sheet.
• Pat the scallops dry. Toss the scallops with lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Arrange the short (halved) bacon slices in a row on a cutting board. Place a scallop at the end of one slice and roll up. Secure with a toothpick and place onto the rack over the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining scallops and bacon.
• Broil 6 inches from the heating element for 5 minutes. Flip the scallops and broil for 4-7 more minutes, until the bacon is crispy.
• If desired, drizzle with lemon butter sauce right before serving.

MARINATED SCALLOPS WRAPPED IN BACON

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. Bake in preheated oven until some of the grease has rendered out of the bacon; the bacon should still be very soft and pliable, about 8 minutes. 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.
