DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Place bacon strips evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until bacon begins to brown on its edges but still remains pliable. Remove from oven; transfer bacon strips to paper towels to cool. Discard parchment paper and reline pan with fresh parchment paper.
- For milder scallops, sprinkle scallops lightly on both sides with seasoning blend. For spicy, full-flavor scallops, combine Cajun seasoning and scallops in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal bag; shake to coat scallops evenly with spice blend.
- Wrap each scallop in 1 slice of the partially cooked bacon, securing it through the center with a toothpick or appetizer spear.
- Preheat broiler to high setting. Broil bacon-wrapped scallops about 4 inches away from the heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until scallops are opaque and bacon is crisp.
