Bacon Wrapped Scallops

Recipe #49506 | 32 min | 20 min prep | 40 appetizers (Change Servings)

I love making these appetizers at Christmas time. Always well received!! I'm guessing on the servings, depends on the size of the scallops.

    I took this recipe as a starting point, I was really looking for a scallop recipe that used bacon and BBQ sauce and this one looked like a good place to start. I purchased 2 lbs of scallops and bought 2 lbs. of maple hickory bacon. I ended up using only one of the packs of bacon because I found that half a slice was enough for each scallop. It turns out that about 34 scallops wrapped in bacon fit on one broiler pan. I cooked the scallops as directed in the recipe but I modified the sauce. Modified the sauce by decreasing the garlic to two cloves instead of a full Tbsp. and then added 2/3 of a cup of Kraft honey BBQ sauce. This was a big hit with the "seafood feast" I made for my friend and her family. Her 5 year old loved them (was probably the bacon and BBQ sauce :D) So if anyone is looking for a variation on this recipe give the BBQ sauce a try!

    MissNezz these are wonderful! I did things backwards by mistake- poured the sauce over the scallops & then wrapped in bacon, and they were still yummy. What a treat these are, soft, lightly salty and a little garlicky. I'll surely be making these again. And glad you like the pic.
