Ingredients
6 slices bacon
12 sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
Cut bacon slices in half. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until partially cooked but still pliable (about 5 minutes).
Wrap each scallop with a half slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Place on the baking sheet and drizzle with lemon juice.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until scallops are opaque and bacon is crisp.
Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges if desired.
