From a recipe card I got at the grocery store, a wonderful grilled seafood treat! Ingredients:
12 slices bacon |
24 large sea scallops |
3/4 cup maple syrup |
2 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons orange juice (fresh is best) |
1 teaspoon grated orange peel |
Directions:
1. Cut each bacon slice in half. Cook over medium heat 5-6 minutes.
2. Wrap each scallop in a bacon piece.
3. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring syrup to a boil. Cook, uncovered, about 5 minutes, until reduced to about 2/3 cup.
4. Remove from heat. Add butter, orange juice, and orange peel and stir until butter is melted and mixture is combined.
5. Coat grill rack with cooking spray. Heat grill to a medium-high heat (350-400 degrees).
6. Using 6 skewers, thread 4 wrapped scallops onto each skewer (if using wooden, soak in water for about 30 minutes first). Brush syrup mixture over scallops.
7. Grill scallops for 4-6 minutes, turning once or twice, until scallops are opaque and bacon is crisp.
