An easy appetizer that tastes like it took far more effort than it did. Sweet sea scallops are wrapped in bacon coated with brown sugar, our organic curry powder and a touch of cayenne, then broiled until caramelized and crisp. Sweet, smoky and a little spicy, they're perfect for parties and holidays. Gluten-free and dairy-free.

Scallops Wrapped in Curried Bacon

Ingredients

  • 12 sea scallops, about 1 pound
  • 12 slices bacon (about 3/4 pound)
  • 6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon organic ground cayenne
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons organic curry powder
  • 24 toothpicks

Directions

  1. Preheat broiler.

  2. Remove the side muscle from each scallop if needed, then cut the scallops in half.

  3. Brown bacon in a heavy skillet over medium heat (until edges brown, but it is still flexible). Place bacon on paper towels; pat and leave to cool.

  4. Stir together brown sugar, cayenne and curry in a medium bowl.

  5. Cut each bacon slice in half crosswise.

  6. Press both sides of each bacon piece into the sugar mixture to coat. Wrap each scallop half in a piece of coated bacon and secure with a toothpick.

  7. Lightly oil the top of a broiler pan, and place wrapped scallops on pan.

  8. Broil about 5 inches from heat until bacon is browned, and scallops are opaque (about 5-6 minutes); turn and broil another 5-6 minutes. Remove and serve.
