Teriyaki Scallops wrapped in Bacon

By minicoopercraig

What's not to love about a meaty, sweet scallop glazed in teriyaki and wrapped in crispy bacon? How about the fact that this one dish will cost you fewer calories than two pieces of wheat toast? Or that it takes about 15 minutes to prepare?

Ingredients

• 8 large sea scallops (ask for "dry" scallops over "wet", less costly)
• 1/4 cup teriyaki marinade
• 4-8 strips of bacon (thin cut bacon works best)

Preparation

Step 1

Toss the scallops with enough teriyaki marinade to cover and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat the broiler. Wrap each scallop with just enough bacon to wrap fully around without overlapping (it's best to stretch the bacon fairly thin - it will crisp up easier that way).
Thread a toothpick through the bacon and scallop to secure. Brush with a bit more of the teriyaki marinade, then place in the oven 6" beneath the broiler. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until the scallops are firm and the bacon is fully cooked.
