Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pound large scallops
- 1/2 pound thin-sliced bacon
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup good quality mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup hot chili paste (recommended: Sriracha Hot Chili Paste)
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
- 2 heads Bibb lettuce, washed
- 3 avocados, sliced
Directions
Heat the broiler. Wrap each scallop in a piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Place the bacon wrapped scallops onto a baking sheet, drizzle them with olive oil, and season them with salt and pepper. Cook them under the broiler for about 10 to 15 minutes until the bacon is cooked through, turning once.
Make the spicy mayo by combining the mayonnaise, chili paste, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.
To serve, carefully peel away the lettuce leaves and line a large platter with the lettuce cups. Top each with a bacon wrapped shrimp, 2 slices of avocado, and a spoonful of spicy mayonnaise. Garnish with cilantro leaves.

Great recipe! My oven has two settings for broil, hi and lo. Used hi with this and they came out perfect. Also, I used half the amount of chili paste, which ended up perfectly.
I am planning on serving them on Christmas Eve. A definite winner!

Yummy recipe and so easy. I just covered the scallop with bacon and turned once. I didn't feel it needed nor did I miss the oil on top; plenty of fat from the bacon (very tender. The sauce is great, but it made way too much. I wanted to taste the scallop. That sauce would be good on any white fish. It would be good with fish and chips!
