Number Of Ingredients 6

12 slices bacon
24 large sea scallops
3/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons orange juice (fresh is best)
1 teaspoon grated orange peel

Steps:

  • Cut each bacon slice in half. Cook over medium heat 5-6 minutes.
  • Wrap each scallop in a bacon piece.
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring syrup to a boil. Cook, uncovered, about 5 minutes, until reduced to about 2/3 cup.
  • Remove from heat. Add butter, orange juice, and orange peel and stir until butter is melted and mixture is combined.
  • Coat grill rack with cooking spray. Heat grill to a medium-high heat (350-400 degrees).
  • Using 6 skewers, thread 4 wrapped scallops onto each skewer (if using wooden, soak in water for about 30 minutes first). Brush syrup mixture over scallops.
  • Grill scallops for 4-6 minutes, turning once or twice, until scallops are opaque and bacon is crisp.
