Ingredients

- 12 large sea scallops (not bay scallops)
- 1 tablespoon melted salted butter
- 1 clove garlic (minced, optional)
- ½ teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
- salt and black pepper (to taste)
Steps
-
Place short wooden skewers in water to soak for 30 minutes.
-
Place bacon in a frying pan and cook about 3-4 minute per side or until just slightly cooked and some of the fat has rendered out. Bacon should not be crisp.
-
Pat the scallops dry with paper towel and season with salt & pepper to taste.
-
Wrap bacon around the scallops and thread 2 to 3 scallops onto each skewer leaving a little bit of space between each scallop.
-
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic, parsley, and lemon pepper. Brush over scallops.
-
Place an oven rack 6-inches from the broiler and Preheat the broiler to high heat.
-
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
-
Place the scallops on the prepared pan and broil for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping over after 3 minutes. Cook just until bacon is crisp and scallops are cooked through, do not overcook.
