Time 10h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb bacon, cut in half crossways (use low sodium bacon since scallops are salty)
1 lb giant sea scallops or 2 pounds small sea scallops, rinsed
1/2 c extra virgin olive oil
1/2 c dry italian vermouth
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, minced
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
dash(es) oregano

Steps:

  • 1. Wrap one bacon piece around each scallop, if necessary securing with a wooden toothpick, or you can secure them on kabob skewers. Place wrapped scallops in a baking dish.
  • 2. Combine olive oil, vermouth, parsley, garlic powder, pepper, onion powder and oregano in small bowl, mixing well. Pour over the scallops. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. (Marinating overnight or up to 8 hours gives best results)
  • 3. Remove scallops from marinade. Arrange on broiler pan and broil, 4 inches from heat 7 to 10 minutes or until bacon is brown. Turn over and brown other side for about 5 minutes. Remove wooden toothpicks or from skewers, arrange on platter lined with greens. Garnish as desired. **these can also be done on the grill** To serve just slide them off the skewer or toothpick and serve with fancy toothpicks. You can also double this recipe-it still comes out really well.
