This is one of my all time favorite hors d’ oeuvres. The salty smoked bacon against the sweet sea scallops finished with a splash of citrus…..yum! These scallops are great served hot or slightly warmed. Be sure to have a bottle of Pinot Gris from Alsace or even a beautiful Riesling from Germany chilled of course. They both have exotic fruit and spice aromas that pair well with scallops.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh sea scallops (the lg. variety)
- 1 lb. sliced good quality bacon (not too fatty, preferably smoked bacon)
- Juice of 1 fresh lemon
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- Fresh pepper
- Long toothpicks or skewers
Preparation
- Mix olive oil, lemon juice and pepper in small bowl.
- Pour over scallops and marinate in refrigerator for about an hour. Wrap each scallop with 1/2 strip of bacon. Keep together with toothpick or put 3-4 on each skewer.
- Place on broiler pan. Broil in oven until golden brown and bacon is done to desired crispness.
Tips
CHEF DORSEY’S TIPS You’ll need a very hot oven to broil your scallops. Most importantly don’t commit the sin of over cooking these sweet morsels, as they will become rubbery and dry!Reviews (0)
