We’re back with a super easy recipe that you can make in less than 30 minutes!

These Bacon Wrapped Scallops get coated with a sweet and zesty sauce that caramelizes under the heat of the broiler to give them a nice crispy, charred glaze.

Here’s what you’ll need!

Ingredients:

1 LB. Sea Scallops

1/3 Cup of Delicae Gourmet Pineapple Ginger Marmalade Glaze (Find it at J&W)

Thick Cut Bacon Slices

Parsley - Chopped Fresh or Freeze-dried (optional for garnish aka “makes it pretty” 😉)

Toothpicks

Directions:

Start out by pre-heating your broiler.

Line a baking sheet with foil or coat it with cooking oil of your preference.

Rinse your scallops under cool water, and pat them dry.

Place your scallops in a small to medium sized prep bowl, and pour your Pineapple Ginger Sauce over top.

Toss the scallops in the sauce until they are evenly coated.

Grab your toothpicks and bacon.

Depending on how much bacon you want on the scallops, you can choose to cut your bacon in half to make it go further or use an entire slice per scallop. Totally up to you!

Wrap your bacon slice around the outer edge of the scallop and secure it in place with a toothpick.

Place your wrapped scallops on your baking sheet leaving some room between them, and sprinkle with chopped or freeze-dried parsley.

Put your baking sheet under your broiler, and leave your oven door slightly cracked.

Broil them for about 10-15 minutes until your bacon is crispy, and the scallop is cooked through giving it a nice opaque white color. Helpful Tip! Flip the scallops once you see the tops crisping up, so you’re bacon gets a nice crunch all-over.

Remove the Scallops from the broiler to cool.

Serve them with another sprinkle of parsley on top, and a small sauce dish of your Pineapple Ginger Glaze.

You may choose to leave the toothpicks in for an easy to pick up appetizer, or remove them to serve as a main course.

Wine Pairing

We would pair these scallops with a nice crisp Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, like our Southern Right 2019 Sauvignon Blanc. This South African wine has nice citrus aromas, and a dry taste with medium body and a juicy, lip-smacking finish that brings out the sweetness of the pineapple glaze and scallop’s meat.
