Bacon Wrapped Scallops
There are some things that I did not learn to love (or even try for that matter) until I was an adult. I never had crab legs until a few years ago, and now they are one of my favorite foods. The same can be said for bacon wrapped scallops. These were something I tried for the first time just a few short months ago, and I fell in love with them instantly. I had always been afraid of scallops for some reason, though I am a seafood lover, so I was never tempted to try them. I am not sure what prompted me to try them this time, but I am sure glad that I did.
If you want to buy already made bacon wrapped scallops, one of the best places to find them is in your store’s seafood section, if they have one of these. My grocery store has a seafood section that is much like a deli, but it contains all type of seafood. You can get fresh crab legs, shrimp (both cooked and raw), different types of fish, and even some pre-made items. The bacon wrapped scallops that they have already made up are almost as good as the ones that I have learned to make at home.
You may find some companies online that will deliver these bacon wrapped scallops to your home. These will come to you frozen, and then you simple thaw them out when you need them. This is great when you need to save a little money, and you need a large amount of scallops wrapped in bacon. This might be when you are hosting a party, or even doing something as large as a wedding reception. You could always make your own for this, of course, but wrapping them can be tricky, so having pre made ones can really save you some time.
If you want to make your own bacon wrapped scallops, you can usually make them up rather quickly. You can get fresh scallops in many places, or you can get frozen and allow them to thaw. Ask where you buy about cooking times for the size you choose, though the middle sized seem to work the best. Wrap them in bacon, and bake them in the oven for the right amount of time. You can make up a butter and parsley combination to bake them in, or you can pour it over them once they are done. Scallops wrapped in bacon are good in any situation, but they best are the ones you make at home on your own.
