Ingredients
FOR THE SCALLOPS
- 12 slices low sodium bacon , cut in half
- 24 large scallops
FOR THE GLAZE
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds , (optional)
- 1 tablespoon minced chives , (optional)
Instructions
TO PREPARE THE GLAZE
- In a large saucepan over medium high heat, stir together the bourbon, maple syrup, chili pepper flakes, and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes, until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly.
TO PREPARE THE SCALLOPS
- Pre-cook the bacon on a large, parchment lined baking sheet at 350 degrees, until the bacon is limp and started to release its fat. Partially cooking the bacon allows the bacon to become crisp by the time the scallops are cooked.
- Remove the bacon from the oven, transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate and cool for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler on high. Line a baking pan with foil and coat with cooking spray.
- Wrap the partially cooked bacon around the scallops (½ slice bacon per scallop), and secure with a toothpick. Placing each scallop on the prepared baking pan as they are wrapped.
- Evenly coat the scallops with the ½ of the glaze mixture. Broil for 2 minutes.
- Turn the scallops over and evenly coat them with the remaining glaze. Broil for 3 more minutes, or until the scallops are no longer opaque and the bacon is crispy.
- Transfer the scallops to a serving platter and garnish with pomegranate seeds and/or chopped chives.

We really love wood ( my Honey/Hubby does carpentry and wood-working ) so I can't really get past the Acacia offerings - and the
ACACIA WOOD BERMUDA BOWL, 10" X 10" X 4" WITH SET OF 4 BERMUDA BOWLS, 6" X 6" X 3" AND A FREE 12" SALAD SERVING SET
And I can't wait to try the Scallops recipe - maybe I'll make it for Valentine's Day. I did make a similar dish for New Years Eve - The scallops wrapped in bacon but served over fresh spinach and a PERNOD sauce served with a garlicky spinach fettuccine. But this one sounds even better! Thanks!

I'd probably get the Mason Cash Terracotta Open Casserole, 9" x 8". We could use something different in the house like that.
