Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to remove any excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Season the Scallops

    In a small bowl, mix together black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the scallops.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bacon

    Cut the bacon slices in half so that you have 12 half-slices. This will be used to wrap each scallop.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Wrap the Scallops

    Take one seasoned scallop and wrap a half-slice of bacon around it, securing it with a toothpick. Repeat this for all scallops.

  2. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. 6

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Place the bacon-wrapped scallops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not touching each other for even cooking.

  4. 7

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Drizzle the olive oil over the bacon-wrapped scallops for added flavor and moisture.

  5. 8

    Bake

    Bake the scallops in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and scallops are opaque.

Serving

  1. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the scallops from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
