Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large sea scallops
- 12 bacon slices
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 12 toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the scallops.
Cut each bacon slice in half. Wrap each scallop with a half-slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped scallops in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side, until bacon begins to crisp.
Transfer the seared scallops to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through and bacon is crispy.
Remove from oven and drizzle with lemon juice.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy the savory and sweet flavors with your friends and family!
