Maple-Glazed Scallops

Source of Recipe


From "The Coastal Living Cookbook"






List of Ingredients



• 12 bacon slices, cut in half
  
• 24 large sea scallops (2 pounds)
  
• 1 cup maple syrup
  
• 2 Tbsp butter, melted
  
• 1 tsp grated orange rind
  
• 3 Tbsp fresh orange juice
  
• 1/8 tsp salt
  
• Garnish: orange wedges
  






Instructions



1. Partially cook bacon in a large skillet. Wrap each scallop with 1 half slice bacon. Set aside.
   
   
2. Bring syrup to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, uncovered, until reduced to 2/3 cup (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in butter and next 3 ingredients.
   
   
3. Thread bacon-wrapped scallops onto 12 (10- to 12-inch) skewers; brush syrup mixture over kabobs. Coat grill grate with vegetable cooking spray; place on grill over medium-high heat (350° to 400° F). Place kabobs on grate. Grill kabobs, covered with grill lid, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or just until scallops are opaque, basting often. Garnish, if desired.
