Method
Preparation of Scallops
- 1
Prepare the Scallops
Pat the sea scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving a good sear. Season lightly with salt and set aside.

Wrap the Scallops
Take each scallop and wrap it with a slice of peppered bacon. Secure the bacon with a toothpick if necessary. Ensure the bacon covers most of the scallop but leaves the top exposed for broiling.
Cooking the Scallops
- 3
Broil the Scallops
Preheat your broiler to high. Place the bacon-wrapped scallops on a broiler pan or a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Broil for about 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the scallops are opaque and cooked through.
