How to Make Chinese Bacon Wrapped Scallops
- If using, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar with plum sauce; mix well.
- Pat scallops dry with paper towels. Slice any very thick scallops in half horizontally to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare your grill for medium-high heat or preheat your broiler.
- Cut bacon slices in half.
- In a bowl, gently toss scallops with half of the plum sauce mixture.
- Wrap a half-slice of bacon around each scallop and secure with a bamboo skewer.
- If broiling, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Arrange the skewered scallops on the prepared baking sheet or grill grate.
- Broil or grill for 8-9 minutes per side, or until bacon is crispy and scallops are opaque and cooked through, basting frequently with the remaining plum sauce mixture. (If grilling, maintain medium-high heat).
- Remove from heat and let rest for 1-2 minutes before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
