Here's a T&T: Rec: Bacon-Wrapped Scallops
Bacon-Wrapped Scallops
1/4 cup bourbon
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup minced scallion
1/4 cup Dijon
1 t salt
a dash Worcestershire sauce
pepper to taste
15 large sea scallops, halved
10 slices of very lean bacon, cut crosswise into thirds
Combine marinade ingredients, stir to dissolve the sugar. Add scallops and let them marinate, tossing occasionally, for 1 hr. Wrap a piece of bacon around each scallop half and thread the scallops onto 3 13in. metal skewers, leaving 1/4 in between scallops. Grill the scallops over a bed of glowing coals about 3 in. from the heat, turning twice, for 10-15 min, or until the bacon is crisp. Slide the scallops off the skewers onto a heated platter and serve. Serves 6 as a appetizer. We like this so much that I serve as a main course over a bed of rice!

Pat’s notes: These were very tasty. I much prefer using a thinner slice of bacon to make sure the bacon gets a little crispy.
From: Sandra in NYC: This is very good for BBQ or can also be made in broiler.
