Make Bacon Wrapped Scallops For Your next Dinner Party

If you prefer to shop and cook this glorious seafood dish yourself, here’s how it goes. First, find the best seafood vendor in town. You want to buy the large ocean sea scallops. They should be firm, beige in color and absolutely fresh. For a generous plate, allow at least six scallops per serving. Buy them the day you’ll be cooking, to assure absolute freshness. Ask the clerk to pack the scallops with a bag of ice around them.
You’ll also need one half slice of raw bacon to wrap around each scallop. There’s bound to be a little juice from the scallops when you unwrap the package. Don’t discard this flavorful juice. Pour it into a measuring cup and set it aside.
