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!

Love your show Rachael! Watch it every day... well I'm glued to the Food Network channel,! LOL
I watch how you prepared this dish and when putting it together... lets just say 'I taste with my eyes', sometimes you can just 'feel' what's missing and what should be omitted. Sorry, had to "TWEEK" this recipe too but it came out fabulous! I skipped the 'lime' and used 'the juice and zest from a lemon' instead but not to over power the bacon, used the red pepper flakes (crushed in the palm of my hand to intense the flavor but didn't used as much as you suggested. I'm not too fond of sea scallops either so I omitted that as well. I also smashed and minced some fresh garlic in it. I can't help it, garlic goes in practically everything I make and when the recipe calls for garlic... I'll usually add extra. With a pinch of garlic powder and onion powder... I really should write things down when I "TWEEK" things but like I said, I can taste the dish I'm preparing and can just 'feel' what it needs and doesn't need.
Love your show!
You may be making 30 minute meals but it would be nice if people would slow down and 'savor' what they're eating so the cook can have that warm feeling of it being 'enjoyed' for more than 10 minutes! Isn't that always the way though?
Have a happy holiday and don't forget to make some home-made treats for Lilzabeth (Lizzy! Now 'that' would be a great show to do... after all, they're our kids too! ;
Love ya!

I was very excited about trying this easy recipe. I don't know if I did it wrong or what, but it was way to limey for me. Way too expensive to try again, but I would use the precooked bacon and a little lemon instead of the lime. Sorry, it was a yucko for me and my family.

This was a great recipe BUT - I cooked the shrimp separately, they cook faster than the scallops. I also had trouble with the bacon and the shrimp - bacon was still raw and I found them hard to wrap. But the seasonings were great - especially the lime. I just omitted the bacon from the shrimp and it was still delicious. The scallops were superb.

I made this with just scallops, no shrimp. I pre-cooked the bacon until it was starting to get crisp but still pliable. It turned out great! the bacon cooked very little once it got in the oven, it would have been raw without pre-cooking. I also thought the lime flavor was a little strong, I think next time I will just use the juice, not the zest.

This recipe was a nice dinner twist for our family. We love shrimp and scallops, and this was a fresh way to prepare them. The seafood was easy to wrap and easy to bake. The recipe would be perfect for a party setting as well-they will definitely be on the menu for my next get-together!

I am sure going to try this one, sounds wonderful, someone wanted to know about making the bacon cook crisp, I would suggest cooking it just a little in the micowave and then wrapping it around the shrimp and ect,. that will help make it crispy without over cooking anything else. I will give it a 5 with out even cooking it yer
