Bacon-wrapped Scallops
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. These sound very good, on my to make and taste list.
Ingredients
- 24 sea scallops, side muscle removed
- ½ cup Belgian white ale
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ¼ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
- 12 slices bacon, each cut in half
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the scallops, ale, cilantro, honey, and chipotle pepper, stir to coat the scallops. Place in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your broiler and lightly oil a baking sheet.
- Lay out a half strip of bacon, lay a scallop on its side on the end of the bacon and roll the bacon around the scallop and secure the end with a toothpick. Place the wrapped scallop on the baking sheet, repeat with remaining scallops and bacon.
- Brush the tops of the scallops with the marinade.
- Broil five inches from heat 4 minutes, turn the scallops over and broil another 3 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy.
