Without a doubt scallops are my most favorite shellfish, especially big sweet sea scallops.  If they didn’t cost quite so much I believe I could eat them every day. 

There are so many ways to serve scallops but wrapped in bacon is a classic that will never go out of style.

I adore scallops so much that I made a recipe roundup dedicated to this treasure of the sea. Check out our favorite scallop recipes here.

To make these gorgeous bacon wrapped creatures I started the bacon in the oven.  About 10 minutes at 350 until lightly browned. 

Rinse the scallops and pat dry, then season edges with favorite spices….we used cayenne pepper & brown sugar this time. 

Wrap each scallop with a piece of bacon and add to a metal skewer. 

Season tops and bottoms of scallops with salt & pepper and grill over medium heat (oil grill grates to avoid sticking) for about 2-3 minutes per side. 

Delicious, sweet, juicy goodness wrapped in love.
