How to Make Bacon Wrapped Citrus Scallops
- Cut each bacon slice in half lengthwise.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until slightly crispy (about 5-6 minutes). Remove bacon from skillet, leaving rendered bacon fat in the pan.
- Wrap each scallop with a half-piece of bacon.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1/2 cup orange marmalade, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1 teaspoon orange zest. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes, or until the syrup has reduced to about 1/3 cup and slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and smooth.
- Lightly coat grill rack with cooking spray.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread 4 bacon-wrapped scallops onto each of 6 skewers.
- Brush the scallops generously with the citrus glaze.
- Grill scallops for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the scallops are opaque and the bacon is crispy, turning occasionally.
