Bacon-wrapped scallops are a savory delight combining the rich, smoky flavor of bacon with the delicate, slightly sweet taste of tender sea scallops. Popular in American cuisine as both an appetizer and a main dish, this dish is often associated with seafood-focused dining and festive occasions. Each scallop is wrapped in a crispy, seared bacon strip, typically seasoned with garlic, herbs, or citrus for an enhanced flavor profile. Scallops are an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins such as B12, making them a heart-healthy choice. However, the bacon contributes high sodium and saturated fat content, which may be less ideal for those monitoring their salt or fat intake. Baking or grilling instead of frying can reduce excess oils, making it a slightly healthier option. Overall, it's a delicious indulgence that balances elegance with bold, smoky satisfaction.
