bacon wrapped scallops

For crisp bacon without overcooking the scallops, I partially cook the bacon first before wrapping the scallops.

Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Scallops

Preheat air fryer to 400F 3 minutes.

Place the bacon in the air fryer to partially cook 3 minutes, turning halfway. Remove and set on a paper towel to cool.

Remove any side muscles on the scallops. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture.

Wrap each scallop in slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.

Spritz olive oil over scallops and season lightly with black pepper.

Arrange scallops in a single layer in the air fryer, cook, in batches 8 minutes turning halfway until scallop is tender and opaque and bacon is cooked through. Serve hot.

Bacon Wrapped Scallops Recipe

sea scallops (thawed if frozen)

Kosher salt (to taste)

bacon ((16 slices))

hot pepper jelly ((1 jar))

Preheat

Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and set oven to broil. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

Remove the side muscle attached to each scallop and, if necessary, cut the scallops to the same size. Pat the scallops with a paper towel.

Season

Place the scallops on a plate and season with kosher salt.

Cook

To ensure the bacon crisps and cooks throughout during broiling, it is necessary to parcook the bacon before wrapping the scallops. The most proficient way is to line a microwave-safe plate with 4 layers of paper towels and spread 8 bacon slices on top. Cover the bacon with 2 more layers of paper towels and microwave on high 1½-2 minutes or until the bacon fat begins to melt but is still pliable. Transfer the first 8 slices to the counter and repeat with the remaining 8 slices of bacon.

Wrap

Cut one slice of bacon (width and length) to fit around one scallop with just enough overlapping to secure with a toothpick. Place the scallop on the prepared baking sheet and repeat the process until all scallops are wrapped.

Top each scallop with 1 teaspoon of pepper jelly.

Broil

Broil the scallops 3-4 minutes, spinning around the baking tray after 2 minutes. The scallops are done when the edges of bacon have browned, the scallops are opaque and bounce back slightly when touched.

Serve

Transfer scallops to a serving tray and serve immediately.

Lay the scallops bacon-side-down on the grill. Shut the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, and then rotate. You want to work your way around the bacon so all the sides are evenly cooked. Keep the scallop on the bacon side during the whole cook. You won't get grill marks on your scallops, but you will get crispy bacon and tender scallops, so WIN WIN.

A wonderfully decadent appetizer, these bacon wrapped scallops are surprisingly easy to make.

Easy Bacon Wrapped Scallops Recipe

bacon (16-18 slices)

sea scallops (16-18 scallops; not bay scallops)

Diamond Crystal kosher salt

black pepper

butter (melted)

If using bamboo skewers, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes. I like to use short, 8-inch skewers that I get on Amazon.

Par-cook the bacon: Place two paper towels on a large microwave-safe plate. Place 4-5 slices of bacon on top. Cover the bacon with two more paper towels (to prevent splatters). Microwave on high until partially cooked but still pliable, about 2 minutes. Remove the bacon to another plate (be careful – the plate and the bacon will be hot). Repeat 3 more times with the remaining bacon slices.

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Season them on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Wrap a slice of bacon around each scallop.

Thread the wrapped scallops on the skewers, three per skewer (four or five if using long skewers).

Heat your broiler on high (500°F). Place an oven rack 6 inches below the broiling element (not directly below).

Line a large baking sheet with nonstick foil. Arrange the skewers on the baking sheet. Brush the scallops on both sides with melted butter. Loosely cover the exposed edges of the bamboo skewers with foil strips to prevent them from burning.

Broil until the scallops are cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. How long you&#39;ll need to cook them depends on their size and how hot your broiler runs. Scallops are done when they turn from translucent into white but are still moist.

Serve immediately.
