Ingredients

  • 6 very large sea scallops
  • 1/4 cup aged balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1/2-inch ginger, thinly sliced
  • 12 slices pepper bacon, halved
  • 1 (8-ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • Toothpicks

Directions

Heat a slotted broiler pan in a preheated 450 degrees F oven.

Pat scallops dry and quarter them. Combine the vinegar, sugar, garlic and ginger and marinate the scallops 10 minutes. Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer. On each half-slice of bacon, place 2 slices of water chestnuts. Top with a scallop piece and wrap with the bacon, secure with toothpick. Place scallops on sides, exposed side facing out. Draw garlic and ginger from vinegar and drizzle over scallops then bake 10 minutes, turning once.

    Great hors d'oeuvre

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I just had a small dinner party and served these with a nice, dry white wine for an hors d'oeuvre. The guests raved, asked... for the recipe, had seconds, and were disappointed when there weren't enough for thirds! Splenda brown sugar and powdered ginger (both of which I already had on hand) worked fine. I also want to try this with shrimp instead of scallops, and I might cut my bacon strips into thirds instead of halves. I really liked this recipe, and will definitely keep it in my repertoire.Read more

    Big hit at my party. I couldn't find the peppered bacon, so I used Maple.

    Nice Zing

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    A nice addition to scallops. Although w/o is also tasty (how can you go wrong when bacon is involved?). It's a little work... and something different. Marinated 1/2 lb and left the other 1/2 lb plain. Everyone said they liked the marinated wraps as well.Read more

    This recipe tasted really awful.and what a waste of money because as you know Scallops are not cheap to buy.every person that... tasted these said no way they would never make these for there guest.so I had to throw all 2 lbs away.I was really surprised because on the show they looked really good and I followed the recipe as stated.Read more
