Bacon Wrapped Scallops On The Grill Food

GRILLED MAPLE GLAZED BACON WRAPPED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Partially Cook Bacon for 3-5 minutes in a pan, on medium heat, putting a plate or weight on the bacon to flatten it as it cooks. Do not overcook, as it will complete the cooking process on the BBQ. Remove from pan and place the partially cooked bacon slices on a paper towel and pat with papertowels to remove any excess grease, then set aside.
• Lightly Salt the Scallops, and then wrap them with the partially cooked bacon and secure them with toothpicks.
• Mix Maple Syrup and Dijon Mustard together, and coat the bacon wrapped scallops with the mixture, and refrigerate for (1) hour if you have the extra time, if not you can grill them right away.
• Lightly Oil the BBQ grill, and cook until lightly browned. Serve immediately.

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.
