Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Scallops image

I like my bacon-wrapped scallops a little spicy, so I added a kick to them. I often prepare these for my husband for our date nights and serve them with steak.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH BACON, TARRAGON AND LEMON

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1-ounce) slice bacon, cut crosswise into thin pieces
8 (1-inch) sea scallops, foot removed, if necessary, and patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry white vermouth
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crisp but not dry and drain on a piece of paper towel. Leave 1 tablespoon of the drippings in the pan (there probably won't be much more than that, but discard any extra if there is).
  • Season the scallops with salt and pepper, to taste. Increase the heat under the skillet to medium-high, add the butter, and sear the scallops until brown and glossy, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the scallops to a plate and set aside.
  • Remove pan from heat and add the vermouth and lemon juice. Now return the skillet to the heat and stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Stir in the water.
  • While the sauce reduces, slice the scallops in half vertically. Slip them into the reduced sauce with the tarragon, parsley, and bacon bits and give the skillet a swirl to bring everything together. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Divide the scallops with their sauce among small plates or Asian soup spoons and serve immediately.

1 pound large sea scallops, (about 16), sliced in half crosswise to form 2 rounds
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons minced shallot, (about 2 shallots)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
