Bacon Wrap Scallops
1- Use ordinary bacon, as thick-cut bacon will take too long to crisp on the grill.
2- Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes.
3- When wrapping the scallops, the bacon slice should fit around each scallop or zig zag bacon in between each scallop.
4- Cook until bacon is crispy and scallops are warmed through.
5- Drizzle with Citrus Sauce & enjoy!
Citrus Sauce
1- Start by melting butter over medium-low heat in a medium-sized pan.
2- Add a pinch of salt, one clove of minced garlic, and the zest and juice of one orange. Simmer for five minutes to meld the flavors.
3- Add the parsley towards the end.
4- Remove the pan from the heat and cover to keep warm until ready to use.
Make it a meal! Add the package of smoked sea scallops to the pan after melting butter in Step 1 of the Citrus Sauce recipe. Continue steps 2 - 4, then toss the scallops and sauce with freshly cooked pasta and enjoy.
