Marinated scallops wrapped in bacon and then broiled.

2 tablespoons sherry
1/2 teaspoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 slices bacon, cut in half
6 water chestnuts, sliced
1 scallion, slice and cut into 1-inch pieces

In a large bowl, stir together sugar and sherry. Add scallops to the bowl, and marinate for 30 minutes.

Remove scallops from marinade, and sprinkle with salt. Center a scallop or scallop piece, a slice of water chestnut, and a slice of scallion on a piece of bacon. Wrap, and secure with a toothpick. Arrange on a broiling pan.

Place pan under broiler for 10 minutes, turning once, until bacon is golden and cooked.
