Ingredients

• 12 pieces large sea scallops
• 6 slices bacon slices
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Rinse and pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Season each scallop with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap each scallop with a half-slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.

Step 4

In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 5

Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Place the bacon-wrapped scallops in the skillet seam-side down. Sear for 2-3 minutes until the bacon is crisp but not fully cooked.

Step 7

Turn the scallops over and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and the bacon is fully cooked.

Step 9

Remove the scallops from the oven. Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve the bacon-wrapped scallops warm as an appetizer or main dish.
