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.
