Ingredients
- 12 pieces large sea scallops
- 12 slices thinly sliced bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 12 pieces toothpicks
- 4 wedges lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they're completely dry to help the bacon adhere better.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush the scallops with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Wrap each scallop with one slice of bacon, overlapping the ends slightly. Secure the bacon with a toothpick through the scallop.
Step 6
Place the bacon-wrapped scallops onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down, ensuring they are not touching.
Step 7
Bake the scallops in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the scallops are opaque and tender.
Step 8
While the scallops are baking, chop the fresh parsley and set it aside for garnish.
Step 9
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Carefully transfer the scallops to a serving platter.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
