Bacon-Wrapped Scallops Appetizer

Step 1

Pat the scallops dry and wrap each one with a half-bacon slice and secure with a wood toothpick or skewer. Arrange bacon-wrapped scallops on a rack in a broiling pan.

Step 2

Arrange your oven rack in the top position and heat the broiler to high. Broil the appetizers, turning once halfway through cooking, until scallops are opaque throughout and bacon is browned evenly on all sides. This may take approximately 8 to 12 minutes depending on the thickness of the bacon, the size of the scallops and your broiler's temperature.

Step 3

Remove from the pan, arrange on a tray or platter and serve. Yield: 24 appetizers.
