How to Make Barbecued Piggy Scallops
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons of melted butter, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
- Add 1 pound of large sea scallops to the bowl and gently toss to coat completely.
- Cut 6 slices of bacon in half widthwise. Wrap each scallop with half a bacon slice, securing with a toothpick or threading onto skewers. Reserve any remaining butter mixture.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, basting frequently with the reserved lemon-herb butter, until the bacon is crisp and golden brown and the scallops are opaque and cooked through.
- Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and drizzle any remaining butter mixture over the top.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!
