BACON-BROILED SCALLOPS24 large sea scallops (1 1/4 lbs)
12 slices bacon
salt
seasoned pepper
lemon wedges (for serving)
Rinse scallops with running cold water to remove sand from crevices. Pat dry.
Preheat broiler.
Cut each bacon slice crosswise in half, wrap each half around a scallop. Secure with toothpick. Sprinkle lightly with salt and seasoned pepper.
Broil 8-10 minutes, turning frequently so bacon will brown evenly, until scallops turn opaque through.
Remove toothpicks. Arrange on platter, garnish with lemon wedges.
