Wrap meaty scallops in crispy bacon and pair with a luscious dip for an appetizer that's guaranteed to be gone in minutes. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
dash hot sauce |
1/2 cup olive oil |
4 pounds sea scallops, rinsed and drained (about 48) |
24 bacon slices (about 1 lb.), cut in half |
wooden picks |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
vegetable cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a small mixing bowl; whisk in olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Place scallops in a zip-top plastic freezer bag; add lime juice mixture. Cover or seal, and chill 30 minutes, turning once. Drain scallops, discarding marinade.
2. Microwave bacon, covered with paper towels, in 4 batches, at HIGH 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly brown. Wrap 1 bacon piece around each scallop, and secure with a wooden pick. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
3. Coat a cold cooking grate with cooking spray, and place grate on grill over medium-high heat (350° to 400°). Place scallops on grate, and grill, covered with grill lid, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until bacon is crisp and scallops are done.
