Bacon Wrapped Scallops

• 20 oz Lummi Island Wild Scallops, rinsed and patted dry
• 12 to 16 ounces thin sliced bacon (not center cut), strips cut in half crosswise
• Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
• Large lettuce leaves, for serving (optional)

Preheat your oven broiler. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. 

Wrap each scallop with a piece of bacon and secure with a wooden toothpick. 

Place the bacon-wrapped scallops onto the prepared baking sheet and season them with salt and pepper. 

Cook them under the broiler for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through- turning once mid-way through. 

To serve, line a large platter with lettuce leaves and place the bacon-wrapped scallops on top. Serve with a dish of spicy mayonnaise for dipping, or drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with sprinkled thyme.
