Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large sea scallops
- 12 slices thinly sliced bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 12 pieces toothpicks
- 4 wedges lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they're completely dry to help the bacon adhere better.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Brush the scallops with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Wrap each scallop with one slice of bacon, overlapping the ends slightly. Secure the bacon with a toothpick through the scallop.
Place the bacon-wrapped scallops onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down, ensuring they are not touching.
Bake the scallops in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the scallops are opaque and tender.
While the scallops are baking, chop the fresh parsley and set it aside for garnish.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Carefully transfer the scallops to a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
