Ingredients

4 servings

12 large sea scallops (about 1 ½ lb), side muscle removed
12 slices bacon
Kansas City Steak Bacon Flight (Approximate Delivery is 3 - 8 Days)
See all
½ tsp kosher salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

For the pan sauce

2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

For serving

1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the scallops thoroughly dry with paper towels — moisture is the enemy of a good sear. Wrap one slice of bacon snugly around the equator of each scallop and secure with a toothpick. Season the flat top and bottom of each wrapped scallop with salt and pepper.
2
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron or heavy stainless skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and just begins to smoke. Working in a single layer without crowding, add the scallops flat-side down. Sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until the bottom is deep golden brown and the scallop releases easily from the pan.
