How to Make Barbecued Bacon And Scallop Brochettes

  1. Wash and pat dry 1 pound of large sea scallops. Place them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of dill seeds, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  2. Gently toss the scallops to coat in the marinade. Let them marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the scallops from the marinade, reserving the marinade in a small bowl.
  5. Cut 8 slices of bacon in half. Wrap each of 8 scallops with a half slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if needed.
  6. Thread 4 plain scallops and 4 bacon-wrapped scallops alternately onto 4 skewers.
  7. Brush the skewers generously with the reserved marinade. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the scallops are opaque and cooked through.
  8. Remove from grill, let rest for a minute, and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs, if desired.
