Bacon Wrapped Shrimp and Scallops

2

So simple to throw together is this wrapped scallop and shrimp appetizer. And the result will win over every crowd.

You can do all shrimp or all scallops depending on what you have on hand. I love them both with a definite leniency toward scallops. Make sure you pat all your seafood dry

The trick to this recipe is par-baking the bacon for 15 minutes. It comes out half cooked and will finish off with the seafood. If you don’t do this, the seafood pieces will be done fast and you bacon will be undercooked.

I love the sweet and spicy sauce to glaze the seafood with, it really adds that extra flavor and takes them to the next level.
