WHERE CAN I BUY BACON WRAPPED SCALLOPS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• If you prefer, the bacon can be pre-cooked for a couple of minutes in the microwave to insure it will be crispy by the time the scallops are done.
• Do not overcook the scallops as they will be rubbery.
• Cut each piece of bacon in half to make 24 pieces.
• Roll a piece of bacon around each scallop and secure on wooden skewers.
• Place scallops on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with Old Bay and creole seasoning.
• Both seasonings contain salt, so don't overdo it!
• Amounts listed are what I used.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 15-18 minutes, or until the scallops are done.
• The bacon should be crispy.
• While the scallops are cooking, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar in a saucepan to make the dipping sauce.
• Mix well and cook until the sugar is dissolved.
• Serve the scallops with the dipping sauce.
