Bacon Wrapped Scallops Recipe

Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Scallops

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• White Pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Sea Scallops
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup milk

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Scallops

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Grease a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
3. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
4. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/4 cup milk.
5. In a third shallow dish, place 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs.
6. Prepare an assembly line with the flour mixture, egg mixture, and breadcrumbs. This makes breading the scallops much easier.
7. Dredge each scallop in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly in the breadcrumbs.
8. Wrap each breaded scallop with a half-slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick.
9. Arrange the bacon-wrapped scallops in the prepared pie dish.
10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the scallops are cooked through.
11. Serve immediately, warm, with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
