Main Ingredients

Spicy Thai Chili Sauce

Method

Preparation of Scallops

  1. 1

    Prepare the scallops

    Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the bacon adhere better.

  2. 2

    Wrap scallops

    Take one slice of bacon and wrap it around each scallop, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.

Cooking the Scallops

  1. 3

    Heat the oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Sear the scallops

    Place the bacon-wrapped scallops in the skillet, seam side down, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bacon is crispy. Flip them over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the scallops are opaque and cooked through.

  3. 5

    Remove and drain

    Remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Preparation of Spicy Thai Chili Sauce

  1. 6

    Combine ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the Thai chili sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 7

    Add cilantro

    Stir in the chopped cilantro for added freshness and flavor.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate and serve

    Arrange the bacon-wrapped scallops on a serving platter and drizzle with the Spicy Thai Chili Sauce. Serve immediately.
