Bacon-Broiled Scallops

Ingredients:
24 large sea scallops
12 slices bacon
salt
seasoned pepper
lemon wedges

Directions:

1. Rinse scallops with running cold water to remove sand from crevices. Pat dry. Preheat broiler.

2. Cut each bacon slice crosswise in half, wrap each half around a scallop. Secure with toothpick. Sprinkle lightly with salt and seasoned pepper.

3. Broil 8-10 mins, turning frequently so bacon will brown evenly, until scallops turn opaque through.

4. Remove toothpicks. Arrange on platter, garnish with lemon wedges and serve.
