Succulent Scallops Wrapped in Bacon.

Without a doubt scallops are my most favorite shellfish, especially big sweet sea scallops. If they didn’t cost quite so much I believe I could eat them every day.

There are so many ways to serve scallops but wrapped in bacon is a classic that will never go out of style.

I adore scallops so much that I made a recipe roundup dedicated to this treasure of the sea. Check out our favorite scallop recipes here.

To make these gorgeous bacon wrapped creatures I started the bacon in the oven. About 10 minutes at 350 until lightly browned.

Rinse the scallops and pat dry, then season edges with favorite spices….we used cayenne pepper & brown sugar this time.

Wrap each scallop with a piece of bacon and add to a metal skewer.

Season tops and bottoms of scallops with salt & pepper and grill over medium heat (oil grill grates to avoid sticking) for about 2-3 minutes per side.

Delicious, sweet, juicy goodness wrapped in love.
