Eric and Susan's Grilled bacon wrapped Scallops

This is one of the dishes Eric and Susan brought to our dish day 9/24.

It was excellent!

3/4 cup crisp dry white wine like a Sauvignon Blanc
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup honey
1 t course salt
1 1/2 lbs scallops

6 oz thickly sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 4 inch strips
You will also need some wooden toothpicks.


Place the wine, lime juice, honey, salt and pepper in a large non reactive bowl and whisk until the salt dissolves. Add the scallops to the marinade and mix. Let this marinade in the refrigerator covered for 60 minutes.

In the meantime, precook the bacon about halfway. Not to a point where it gets crispy. The grill can take care of that.

After an hour, drain the scallops. Discard the marinade. Wrap each scallop in a strip of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.

Preheat the grill to medium and set it up for direct grilling.

When ready to cook,  brush and oil the grate. Arrange the wrapped scallops on the hot grate and grill until the bacon is browned and crisp and the scallops are cooked through. About 2-3 minutes per side plus 1-2 minutes on the edges to crisp the bacon.

Transfer the scallops to service dish and serve them hot off the grill.
