Scallops Wrapped in Bacon
Makes 12 (2 piece) servings
Prep time: 25 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 24 bay scallops (about 5 ounces)
- 12 strips bacon (cut across in half)
- 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon granular sugar substitute
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Directions
1. Remove the tough connective strap from the side of each scallop. Press a water chestnut slice together with a scallop; bind together by wrapping a piece of bacon around them and securing with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining scallops, chestnuts and bacon.
2. Combine soy sauce, sugar substitute, and ginger. Pour over the scallops and marinade for 10 minutes.
3. Heat the broiler. Place wrapped scallops on a broiler pan. Broil, turning once, until bacon is crisp and scallops are cooked but still moist, 5 to 6 minutes.
