Main Ingredients

Seasoning & Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. This ensures they sear properly on the grill.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bacon

    Cut each strip of bacon in half. This will make it easier to wrap around the scallops.

  3. 3

    Make the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Wrap the Scallops

    Wrap each scallop with a half strip of bacon and secure it with a sprig of rosemary. You can use a skewer or toothpick if needed.

  2. 5

    Marinate

    Place the wrapped scallops in a shallow dish and drizzle the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Grilling

  1. 6

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

  2. 7

    Grill the Scallops

    Place the rosemary skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the bacon is crispy and the scallops are opaque.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Remove the scallops from the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving. Enjoy with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
