Bacon wrapped scallops.

Awesome.

Crazy good.

Eye-rollingly fantastic.

(I know that's not a real word)

The Best Bacon -Wrapped Scallops Ever:

3-4 (appetizer portion) or 6-7 (entree portion) New Bedford, MA Scallops per person, fresh from your fish monger (never on a Monday though)

1 pound Boar's Head Bacon

1/2 cup Ken's Italian

Dressing/marinade

touch of pure maple syrup

*Let the scallops marinate in the dressing for an hour or so.

*Pre-cook the bacon on a sheet pan until half cooked (about six minutes) in a 375 degree oven.

*Pan sear the scallops.

*Wrap each scallop in bacon and secure with large toothpicks or on skewers.

*Grill (or broil) on medium heat basting lightly with maple syrup.

After the marinating this whole production really only takes about 20 minutes if you've pre-heated everything, it's worth the effort.

This recipe will make people swoon...seriously, I promise.
