How to Make Baked Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine and bring to a simmer. Stir in 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Remove from heat.
- Add 1 pound sea scallops to the melted butter and wine sauce. Gently toss to coat.
- Marinate scallops in the sauce for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator).
- While scallops marinate, prepare 8 slices of bacon. Cut each slice in half lengthwise.
- Wrap each scallop with half a piece of bacon, securing with a toothpick.
- Place the bacon-wrapped scallops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then flip the scallops and bake for another 8 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and the bacon is crispy. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from oven, carefully remove toothpicks, and serve immediately.
