Talk about a recipe that leaves you speechless and your jaw hanging to the floor – these Bacon wrapped scallops are beyond delicious and easy enough for even the most novice chef to accomplish. When I think scallops, for better or for worse, I think of Chef Gordon Ramsey screaming at trained chefs and smashing their scallops with his fist as he is constantly returning them for being over and under cooked on his hit TV Show: Hell’s Kitchen.
That doesn’t give me the most confidence to splurge on scallops, when not even trained chefs can cook them properly! Let’s put all of that skepticism to rest, folks – I can do this, therefore, you can do this, too!
You will be blown away by the ease of this recipe and will start keeping tabs on when scallops go on sale, trust me!
Let’s get started!
