Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Wrap with Bacon

    Cut each slice of bacon in half. Wrap a piece of bacon around each scallop and secure it with a toothpick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Scallops

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon-wrapped scallops to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bacon is crispy and the scallops are opaque.

  4. 4

    Glaze with Maple Syrup

    In the last minute of cooking, drizzle maple syrup over the scallops and allow it to caramelize slightly. Flip to coat evenly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Serve immediately.
