Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Lemon-Herb Dressing

• 6 tbsp. olive oil
• 3 tbsp. finely chopped basil leaves
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tsp. grated lemon zest
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tsp. Fresh rosemary leaves
• 1 small fresh red chile
• 6 slice bacon, pancetta, or prosciutto
• 16 large fresh sea scallops

1. Soak 16 wooden or bamboo toothpicks in cold water for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, pulse oil, basil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, and chile until smooth.
3. Pour dressing into a glass measuring cup.
4. Cut each bacon slice lengthwise into 2 or 3 pieces.
5. Wrap a strip of bacon around each scallop and secure with a toothpick.
6. Transfer scallops to a plate and brush them with half of the dressing (about 1/4 cup).
7. Spray a stovetop nonstick griddle or 2 large nonstick skillets with olive oil cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
8. Cook scallops on sides, so bacon touches pan, about 4 to 6 minutes, turning until bacon is lightly charred and scallops are cooked through.
9. Place scallops on a platter and drizzle with remaining dressing.
