Ingredients

12 jumbo raw peeled deveined shrimp, 16 to 20 count per pound
12 large sea scallops, trimmed and well drained
1 lime, juiced and zested
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon grill seasoning or coarse salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
12 slices center cut or applewood smoked bacon, cut in 1/2
Toothpicks
3 scallions, very thinly sliced on an angle

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Place shrimp and scallops in a shallow dish or bowl. Dress seafood with lime juice and zest, a generous drizzle of sesame oil, grill seasoning and hot pepper flakes. Wrap each shrimp and scallop with a half slice of bacon. Wrap each shrimp working from head to tail, pulling bacon snuggly around the shrimp. Wrap the bacon around the outside of each scallop. Fasten bacon in place as necessary with picks.

Arrange the shrimp and scallops on a slotted baking pan, such as a broiler pan, to allow draining while bacon crisps. Bake shrimp and scallops 10 to 14 minutes, until shrimp is pink and curled, scallops are opaque and bacon is crisp. Shrimps may finish before the scallops.

Arrange cooked seafood on platter and sprinkle with chopped scallions.

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Rachel, you should know to pre-cook the bacon ( 4 minutes, then drain on paper towels).........

Very VERY good....but had some difficulties
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

After the dish was done it was really good. Both my parents and i loved it...but there were some problems cooking it. The... shrimp(did not use scallops, could not find the right kind) was in there for the full 14 minutes but the bacon was no where near done. They went in at 6:25 and it wasnt untill almost 7 that my mom and i decided to set the oven to broil. The recipe said to bake them but we started to think maybe it was supposed to be broiil. Once we had set it to broil the bacon cooked really fast. Before, on some of the bacon, we cooked them, but not all the way, and it was fine for the 14 minutes of baking. Minus all the dificulties the dish was very good. I loved it and so did my parents.:) Yumm-o ^^Read more

Bacon and Seafood - how can anything be better!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This dish is amazing. I've made it for several friends and everyone loves it. I've found that you can change up the flavor... slightly by changing the variety of grill seasoning you use. It's a lot of fun to make and it's great to make in the summer. This is actually the first dish that I made for my boyfriend and we've been together for 3 years. I think this helped me seal the deal!Read more

Great classic recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Two of my favorite hors d'oeuvres or appetizers in the world are shrimp and/or scallops. Bubba told us of all the ways to... prepare shrimp, but and let?s face it; anything will taste better with a piece of bacon wrapped around it! There are several Christmas parties I look forward to every year just because I know both are on the menu. Both are so quick and easy to make, there is no excuse to not make them all the time for your spouse, family or any party. This is a great classic recipe that is quick and incredibly delicious. I used a lemon and a lime for the marinade. I know that Rachel is whipping out great meals in 30-minutes, but if you have the time, let the shrimp and the scallops marinate in the juice for at least 30-45 minutes. It would be great as a cerviche, but incredibly tender when broiled. It really makes a difference in the size of the shrimp and scallops to finish with a nice cooked piece of bacon and perfect shellfish. With medium sized scallops or shrimp, you may need to put the bacon in the oven on a baking sheet at 325 for 5-6 minutes to get the cooking time of the shellfish and the bacon in sync. If your scallops are silver dollar sized and your shrimp U-15 or larger, they will probably finish perfectly together. You may want to start the scallops a minute or two before the shrimp if serving together. If you soak the toothpicks for 30 minutes in warm water the tips will not burn quite as bad when you go to the broiler. A little bit better presentation at the table. I can pick up 4 large scallops and 4 large shrimp for less than $4.00. It makes an incredible appetizer for two, at a very reasonable price. I earn a lot of bonus points with the wife, family and friends; they love both, and they think I spend a lot more time preparing them than the 10 minutes it actually takes. This is one recipe you have to try! Read more

PARTIALLY PRE COOK THE BACON!!!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I tried this dish tonight and my bacon was no where near being done after just 15 minutes in the oven. After scanning the... reviews I even preheated them for about 30 seconds in the microwave and I still wasn't satisfied with how raw they were. Read more

A++ Absolutely Delish, with a few changes...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used only scallops and lemon instead of lime. I added some Tumari, Hoisin, Ginger and Wasabe paste. I also cut the scallops... in half as well as the bacon and ran short on 2 and used Proscuito de Parma. Every single one was perfect and the trick is when the bacon is done, so are the scallops and they come out perfect everytime. We were going to make these as an appy for Xmas but forgot so now it's the perfect lunch along with the leftover Vanilla Bean Butternut Squash Risotto - YUMMO!Read more
