Scallops
Scallops wrapped with bacon
I love sea scallops, plump and nutty and fleshy. The winter season in New England yielded such lovely medallions from November to late February, yumm.
*
6 slices bacon
12 sea scallops, rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
pepper to taste
First
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Second
Cut the bacon slices in half and wrap each half around a scallop. Use a toothpick
to secure in place. Drizzle lemon juice over scallops. Place on a cookie sheet.
Third
Bake in a preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until bacon is cooked. Serve
warm, and a quick squeeze of lemon and a few twists of pepper will complement
the flavour.
