How to Make Bacon Wrapped Alaska Scallops
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce.
- Add 1 pound of Alaskan scallops to the soy mixture and marinate for at least 20 minutes (longer is better!).
- Wrap each scallop with 1/2 slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
- 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.
- 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.
