Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large sea scallops
- 6 slices bacon slices
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse and pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Season each scallop with salt and pepper.
Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap each scallop with a half-slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the bacon-wrapped scallops in the skillet seam-side down. Sear for 2-3 minutes until the bacon is crisp but not fully cooked.
Turn the scallops over and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and the bacon is fully cooked.
Remove the scallops from the oven. Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the bacon-wrapped scallops warm as an appetizer or main dish.
