Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Alaska Scallops

  • 1 pound Alaskan scallops
  • Bacon
  • Dark Brown Sugar
  • Fresh Ginger
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Alaska Scallops

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce.
  2. Add 1 pound of Alaskan scallops to the soy mixture and marinate for at least 20 minutes (longer is better!).
  3. Wrap each scallop with 1/2 slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  4. Sear the bacon-wrapped scallops on a medium-high heat barbecue grill until the bacon is crispy (about 4-5 minutes per side), or broil in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, basting with the remaining marinade halfway through.
  5. Remove toothpicks and serve immediately. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
