Bacon Scallop Skewers

Bacon Scallop Skewers

Course Appetizer

Ingredients

  • Sea scallops
  • Sliced bacon

Instructions

  • For my taste it is sufficient to wrap every other scallop on the stick.
  • Use half a strip of bacon for each scallop you wrap.
  • Cook the bacon they way you normally would.
  • Crisp but not extra crisp and while the bacon is hot, wrap it around the raw scallop.
  • Put the bacon wrapped scallop on the stick and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Chill.

Notes

Scallops are the most delicate of shellfish. If left to itself, it can be almost tasteless. It is also very lean. When teamed with bacon it creates a rich savory morsel, which is top on most people's list. Put them over on open flame and wow!
