Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large pieces sea scallops
- 6 slices bacon
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 pieces toothpicks
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (optional garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. If the scallops have a tough side muscle, remove it by gently pulling it off.
Cut the 6 slices of bacon in half crosswise, making 12 shorter pieces—one for each scallop.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to form the marinade.
Add the scallops to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
While the scallops are marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Remove the scallops from the marinade and wrap each one with a half-slice of bacon. Secure the bacon in place by inserting a toothpick through the scallop.
Arrange the bacon-wrapped scallops on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the scallops are cooked through. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
Remove the scallops from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.
If desired, garnish with thinly sliced green onions for a fresh, finishing touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
