1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Prepare the Scallops
Pat the sea scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This ensures they sear properly.
3
Season the Scallops
In a bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle this seasoning mix evenly over the scallops.

4
Wrap the Scallops
Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around each scallop, securing it with a toothpick if necessary. Ensure the scallops are fully covered.
5
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
6
Sear the Wrapped Scallops
Once the oil is hot, add the wrapped scallops to the skillet. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the bacon is crispy and the scallops are golden brown.
7
Bake the Scallops
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the scallops are cooked through and the bacon is crispy.

8
Plate the Dish
Carefully remove the scallops from the oven and let them rest for a minute. Remove any toothpicks if used.
9
Garnish
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the scallops and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
