Ingredients
- 6 slices thin cut bacon cut in half lengthwise
- 12 sea scallops
- salt and pepper
- lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire cooling rack on the prepared tray and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet for about 2 minutes on each side. The goal is to pre-cook the bacon but not to the point that we can no longer wrap it around the scallops.6 slices thin cut bacon

(Read above about why it's so important to use an instant read thermometer when making bacon wrapped scallops.) Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.lemon wedges
