Scallops & Bacon Appetizers

Partially precooking the bacon on the side burner will ensure a crispier texture.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lb scallops
  • 1/2 lb bacon
  • lemon wedges

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine oil, lemon juice, and pepper in a large measuring cup. Add scallops and marinate 30-60 minutes.
  2. Cut the bacon lengthwise, and across. Wrap the bacon around the marinated scallops, and secure with a toothpick.
  3. Preheat the barbecue, and brush the cooking grids with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Grill on HIGH for 5-7 minutes, turning to cook evenly.
