SCALLOP RUMAKI

4 bacon slices (cut in half)
8 sea scallops (about 1/4 pound)
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tsp. minced fresh ginger
2 tbsp. lemon juice
Fresh chives for garnish

Microwave bacon slices on high for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes or until partially cooked not crisp.

Top scallops with green onion and ginger and drizzle evenly with lemon juice. Wrap each scallop with a bacon piece, and secure with a wooden pick.

Bake on a lightly greased rack in a broiler pan for 8 minutes, then broil 3 inches from heat, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until bacon is crisp and scallops are done.
