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.
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
Preheat broiler.
Remove the side muscle from each scallop if needed, then cut the scallops in half.
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.
Stir together brown sugar, cayenne and curry in a medium bowl.
Cut each bacon slice in half crosswise.
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.
Lightly oil the top of a broiler pan, and place wrapped scallops on pan.
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.
