Ingredients

• 24 scallops, large
• 12 slices bacon, cut in halves

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1-2 portabella mushroom, sliced
• 3-5 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces parmesan cheese, shredded
• pepper, to taste

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450.

2. 2

   Wrap each scallop with 1/2 slice of bacon and secure with toothpick.

3. 3

   Place in single layer on foil lined baking sheet with sides so grease doesn't spill.

4. 4

   Place in oven for 15-25 minutes, depending on size of your scallops.

5. 5

   Watch closely as you want the bacon to be crispy but you don't want the scallops to be rubbery.

   While scallops are baking, saute garlic and portabello mushroom in 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.

7. 7

   Toss garlic and mushrooms with pasta and parmesan, adding more olive oil if desired.
