Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove them from the skillet, crumble them, and set aside. Leave the bacon fat in the skillet.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Shallots

    In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the diced shallots. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are soft and translucent.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir in the sautéed shallots and crumbled bacon.

  4. 4

    Sear the Scallops

    Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper. In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed and increase the heat to medium-high. Sear the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.

  5. 5

    Plate and Serve

    Arrange the seared scallops on a plate, drizzle with the bacon and shallot vinaigrette, and garnish with fresh parsley.
