Bacon-Wrapped Scallops
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Dash hot sauce
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 4 pounds sea scallops, rinsed and drained (about 48)
- 24 bacon slices (about 1 lb.), cut in half
- Wooden picks
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Vegetable cooking spray
- Combine first 6 ingredients in a small mixing bowl; whisk in olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Place scallops in a zip-top plastic freezer bag; add lime juice mixture. Cover or seal, and chill 30 minutes, turning once. Drain scallops, discarding marinade.
- Microwave bacon, covered with paper towels, in 4 batches, at HIGH 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly brown. Wrap 1 bacon piece around each scallop, and secure with a wooden pick. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
- Coat a cold cooking grate with cooking spray, and place grate on grill over medium-high heat (350u0b0 to 400u0b0). Place scallops on grate, and grill, covered with grill lid, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until bacon is crisp and scallops are done.
