How to Make Bacon Wrapped Scallops
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving a good sear.
- Season scallops with salt and pepper. If using, sprinkle with brown sugar.
- Wrap each scallop with a half-slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the bacon-wrapped scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, until the bacon is lightly browned.
- If using, drizzle maple syrup over the scallops in the skillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
