Bacon-Wrapped Sea Scallops on Grilling Planks
The unmistakable smoky flavor of bacon wrapped around tender scallops then grilled to perfection on our cedar or alder wood grilling planks.
Ingredients:
- 1-2 planks cedar or alder
- 10 Wild Atlantic Sea Scallops
- 10 Strips thinly sliced bacon
- 10 skewers
- 1-2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- pinch sea salt
- pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1-2 cut chives for garnish
Instructions:
- Soak the wood planks ahead of time, totally submerged for at least one hour if not longer. After soaking, pat dry and coat one side with oil.
- Start your grill, and heat to a medium-high temp.
- Rinse scallops and pat dry with paper towel.
- If you’d like extra crispy bacon, pre-cook in your oven until slightly crisped, and cool a little before wrapping scallops. Carefully wrap each scallop securing with skewer and place on plank. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Once the grill is ready, place planks directly on grill and cook for approximately 18-20 mins, letting the wood smoke infuse the scallops and further crisp bacon. Garnish with a nice cutting of chives and serve right away
