Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 8m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 to 1 1/4 pounds dry sea scallops, approximately 16
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
  • Add the butter and oil to a 12 to 14-inch saute pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately.

BACON-WRAPPED SCALLOPS



Bacon-Wrapped Scallops image

I found this recipe on another website and tweaked it to suit my family's tastes. We really enjoyed this recipe and hope you will too!

Provided by Dreamgoddess

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 33m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 pieces bacon
24 scallops, rinsed and patted dry
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning, to taste
1 teaspoon creole seasoning, to taste
1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar

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.
