Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine green onion, bourbon, maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard and pepper 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 turkey 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).
