Ingredients
¾
cup
pure maple syrup
¼
cup
low sodium soy sauce
1
teaspoon
minced garlic
12
large sea scallops
12
slices
smoked bacon
or turkey bacon
12
toothpicks
2
Tablespoons
brown sugar
Instructions
Mix the maple syrup, soy sauce, and minced garlic together and place in large Ziploc bag.
Add the scallops, tossing to coat, then seal bag and place in refrigerator to marinate for 1-2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Arrange bacon on a parchment-lined cookie sheet making sure they do not overlap.
Bake in preheated oven until just starting to crisp around the edges, the bacon should still be very soft and pliable, about 12 minutes.
Remove bacon from baking sheet and set on paper towel to soak up excess grease.
Remove parchment paper from cookie sheet and spray sheet lightly with nonstick spray
Wrap each scallop with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on baking sheet.
Sprinkle the scallops with a little brown sugar.
Bake in preheated oven until the scallops are opaque and the bacon is crisp, 10 to 15 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time.
Notes
The trick in this recipe is to precook the bacon so the scallops and bacon get done at the same time.
