20 large scallops, (about 1 lb.),
20 strips of smoked bacon,
1 tsp. lemon-pepper seasoning,
1/4 tsp. salt,
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil,
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper,
20 toothpicks,
Recipe: Arrange the bacon over parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake them until half-cooked. Take out the bacon and let it cool down. Put the scallops in a bowl and season them with the lemon-pepper, salt and black pepper. Add the oil and mix well. Wrap on e bacon strip around each scallop and secure with a toothpick. Arrange the bacon wrapped scallops over parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake then in a preheated oven at high temperature for about 10 minutes or until the bacon is fully cooked. Make sure you do not cook the bacon wrapped scallops for too long, otherwise they will shrink and become a little tough. Tip: The bacon wrapped scallops are an excellent choice for one of the appetizers for any large party.
