Bourbon-Bacon Scallops *Jb Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
3 tbsp minced green onions
2 tbsp bourbon
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1/4 tsp pepper
24 large sea scallops (about 1-1/2 pounds)
6 low-sodium bacon slices (4 ounces)
1 cooking spray
Recipe Preparation
1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl; stir well. Add scallops,
stirring gently to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour,
stirring occasionally.
2. Remove scallops from bowl, reserving marinade. Cut each slice of
bacon into 4 pieces. Wrap 1 bacon piece around each scallop (bacon
might only wrap halfway around scallops if they are very large).
Thread scallops onto 4 (12-inch) skewers, leaving some space between
scallops so bacon will cook.
3. Place skewers on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 8
minutes or until bacon is crisp and scallops are done, basting
occasionally with reserved marinade (cooking time will vary greatly
with size of scallops).
