• Serves 6, as an appetizer
Serve these with a garlic and dill flavored homemade mayonnaise for a particularly great appetizer.
INGREDIENTS
• 24 sea scallops;
• 12 slices bacon;
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste;
• Zest of 2 lemons;
PREPARATION
1 Preheat your oven broiler.
2 Heat a frying pan and slightly cook the bacon so
it’s still quite soft and flexible.
3 Remove the bacon from the heat, pat it dry and
cut each slice in half crosswise.
4 Wrap each bacon half around a scallop, secure it
with a toothpick and season to taste with freshly
ground black pepper.
5 Place the wrapped scallops on a rack set over a
pan or rimmed baking sheet and place at about
5 inches under the preheated broiler for about
10 minutes, until cooked through, turning them
often to cook everything evenly.
6 Place the appetizers in a serving plate and
sprinkle the lemon zest on top.
