Bacon wrapped scallops are a real crowd
pleaser!
Bacon
Wrapped Scallops
- Toothpicks
1 package bacon
1 pound scallops, rinsed and dried with muscle removed
2 tablespoons fresh sage, minced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges
- Soak the toothpicks in
water for about 30 minutes, so they don't burn on the grill.
- Parboil the bacon strips
for about 3 minutes and set aside.
- Wrap a piece of blanched
bacon around each scallop and thread with a toothpick to keep
together. Transfer the wrapped scallops onto a plate.
- Sprinkle the scallops
with sage and drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice.
- Grill the scallops for
2 to 3 minutes per side over a medium hot fire.
- Remove the scallops from
the grill and serve hot with lemon wedges.
