Smokey Bacon Wrapped Scallops
No one really needs an excuse to wrap their food in bacon, but creating Bacon Wrapped Scallops is one such scenario that is not only a no-brainer from a flavor standpoint, but the process is beneficial to creating succulent, tender scallops when on the grill. These delicate little bi-valve mollusks, when served traditionally pan-seared, only require a short period of time to cook. The bacon insulates the scallop from the harsh temperatures of the grill, slowing down the cooking process and self-basting them in rendered bacon fat as they cook.
