HOW TO MAKE BACON-WRAPPED SCALLOPS ON THE GRILL?
It’s critical to securely wrap the bacon around the scallops when grilling them if you want perfectly cooked bacon-wrapped scallops. It’s a good idea to use wooden skewers to secure the bacon.
Remember to rotate the skewers while your appetizers cook on the grill. As a result, the bacon will be evenly charred through.
Turn the skewers sideways so that the bacon is directly contacting the heat source for the best char.
Don’t boil the scallops too long, or they’ll lose their flavor and turn rubbery. 2 to 3 minutes per side takes roughly 4 to 6 minutes on the grill.
CAN I MAKE BACON-WRAPPED SCALLOPS WITHOUT A GRILL?
Absolutely! Baking or broiling in the oven will do for those without access to a grill. Broilers cook quickly and can easily burn if left unattended, so you’ll want to watch them.
