10 slices bacon, halved crosswise

20 small scallops

4 tablespoons salted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes

2 tablespoons honey

1 lime, juiced

Thinly sliced green onions, for serving

Directions

Special equipment:

toothpicks

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake the bacon on a foil-lined tray for 20 to 25 minutes to par-cook. Remove and set aside to cool for 3 to 5 minutes.
Wrap each scallop with half piece of bacon, securing each with a toothpick. In a large skillet on high heat, sear the scallops until slightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side, then remove to a platter to rest.
In the same skillet, add the butter, garlic, chile flakes, honey and lime juice. Reduce the mixture until it has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes, then spoon over the scallops. Garnish with the green onions and serve.
