Steps:
- Sprinkle Scallops with salt/pepper/garlic salt and set aside.
- In a large dry non-stick skillet crisp up bacon strips until they reach your desired crispiness. Scoop out bacon crisps onto a flat paper towel. Drain off half the bacon grease into a container or coffee mug. Set aside.
- To remaining bacon grease, add seasoned scallops in single layer to pan. Once you add to the pan, let brown for 4-5 minutes without disturbing them. Flip and repeat browning process for another 4-5 minute
- Remove from pan to reserved paper towel where you put your cooked bacon crisps.
- Add two tbsp of reserved bacon grease to hot pan. Add diced onion. Season with salt/pepper/garlic salt and saute until tender. Add garlic and stir often to avoid burning.

- Add the scallops back into the dressing and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
