1
Prepare the scallops
Remove the side muscle from each scallop if still attached, and pat them dry with paper towels.
2
Season the scallops
Sprinkle the scallops with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to taste on both sides.
3
Wrap with bacon
Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around each scallop tightly. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

4
Preheat the pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
5
Cook the scallops
Place the bacon-wrapped scallops in the skillet, making sure they are not crowded. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bacon is crispy and the scallops are opaque and cooked through.
6
Remove and drain
Once cooked, remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7
Plate the dish
Arrange the bacon-wrapped scallops on a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
