- 1 pound giant sea scallops or 2 pounds small sea scallops, rinsed
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

How To Make bacon wrapped scallops
-
Step 1Wrap one bacon piece around each scallop, if necessary securing with a wooden toothpick, or you can secure them on kabob skewers. Place wrapped scallops in a baking dish.
-
Step 2Combine olive oil, vermouth, parsley, garlic powder, pepper, onion powder and oregano in small bowl, mixing well. Pour over the scallops. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. (Marinating overnight or up to 8 hours gives best results)
-
Step 3Remove scallops from marinade. Arrange on broiler pan and broil, 4 inches from heat 7 to 10 minutes or until bacon is brown. Turn over and brown other side for about 5 minutes. Remove wooden toothpicks or from skewers, arrange on platter lined with greens. Garnish as desired. **these can also be done on the grill** To serve just slide them off the skewer or toothpick and serve with fancy toothpicks. You can also double this recipe-it still comes out really well.
