Ingredients:
- 20 Scallops, thawed and abductor tendon removed
- 20 slices Maple Bacon
- 1 tbsp High Smoke Point Oil (canola, grape seed, avocado seed)
- 1 ½ tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 2 tbsp Freshly Squeeze Orange Juice
- 20 Toothpicks
Instructions:
- In a pan over medium heat cook maple bacon until it is cooked but not crispy. You need it to be still able to wrap around the scallop. Cook it ¾’s the way to crispy.
- While the bacon is cooking, pat the scallops dry with paper towel and season with salt.
- Once bacon is cooked, drain off the fat, wrap the bacon tightly around the scallops, and secure with a toothpick.
- Place a clean pan over medium high heat and pour in 1 tbs of high smoke point oil. Once oil is hot lay in the bacon wrapped scallops into the pan. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Allow the scallops to sear for about 2 minutes per side.
- Before removing the scallops from the pan, move them all to one side of the pan and then add the butter, brown sugar, and orange juice. Allow the sugar to melt and then spoon the butter sugar orange mixture over the scallops.
- Serve and enjoy!
