- 12 slices bacon
- 24 large sea scallops

- 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
- Cut each bacon slice in half. Cook over medium heat 5-6 minutes.

- Remove from heat. Add butter, orange juice, and orange peel and stir until butter is melted and mixture is combined.
- Coat grill rack with cooking spray. Heat grill to a medium-high heat (350-400 degrees).
