You can’t go wrong with the perfect combination of crispy bacon and tender scallops. This dish is easy to whip up, and it’s got that flavor that keeps folks coming back for seconds!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 12 large sea scallops
- 6 slices of bacon, cut in half
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust for spice preference)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Pat the scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them get that nice brown sear later on.
- Wrap each scallop with a half slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place them on the wire rack with the bacon seam side down.
- Season the wrapped scallops lightly with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and the scallops are opaque and cooked through.
- While they’re baking, prepare the spicy mayo by mixing the mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of sriracha based on how spicy you want it!
- Once the scallops are done, let them cool slightly, then serve with a drizzle of that spicy mayo and some fresh lemon wedges on the side.
And there you have it! Dinner (or appetizer) is served! These bacon-wrapped beauties are sure to wow any crowd. Enjoy, and don’t forget to let me know how they come out!
